Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger insists that he wants to bring his own qualities to his new side's game after completing a move from Bayern Munich.

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has insisted that he wants to add his own qualities to his new side's game.

Schweinsteiger recently completed a £14m move to the former Premier League champions, and the World Cup winner has been quick to highlight that he still has a lot to bring to Old Trafford despite some questions about his age.

"I want to make a positive impact and I think I can contribute a lot to the team. I'm confident I can adjust to the Premier League," said Schweinsteiger, according to The Mirror.

"My style of play is to control a game. [To do that] you have to be smart in your brain and fast.

"For me, it's very important to control a situation in defence. You can always score goals, but you have to add stability in the defence. I want to add my quality to United's game. When I see what we do in practise and the quality we have I am sure we have the chance to win titles. I am convinced about that."

Schweinsteiger is one of four major new signings for United so far this summer, alongside Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin and Matteo Darmian.
