Bastian Schweinsteiger wasn't willing to reveal his hand regarding his future following Bayern Munich's 25th league title.

"I am under contract until 2016," Schweinsteiger, the latest player linked with a move to Manchester United, told reporters.

Speculation regarding the German international's future revved up in the last week following a report suggesting United have shifted their focus to the World Cup-winning midfielder.

But Schweinsteiger continued to be evasive when pressed further about the rumours.

"I'm glad that you asked. I won't comment on it," he said with a smile.

Although Schweinsteiger has been limited to just 19 Bundesliga appearances because of injuries, the 30-year-old was able to score in Bayern's final two matches and could still play an important role on whichever club he chooses to play with after the summer break.
