Bastian Schweinsteiger: 'Manchester United fans are so important'

Bastian Schweinsteiger says that he is looking forward to playing in front of Manchester United's supporters following his move from Bayern Munich.

Bastian Schweinsteiger has revealed that he cannot wait to play in front of Manchester United's supporters.

The German World Cup winner signed a three-year deal with the Red Devils on Monday following a reported £14m move from Bayern Munich.

During United's pre-season tour of the United States, Schweinsteiger reflected on his first experience with the club's supporters when he and then-Bayern boss Louis van Gaal took on the Premier League side in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2010.

"I am here with Manchester United because it is a big club and I am looking forward to playing at the great stadium," Schweinsteiger told reporters. "The supporters are so important.

"I remember when I was there in a Champions League match when we lost 3-2 but we progressed to the final and the supporters were very respectful and gave us applause after the match."

The 30-year-old will reportedly become the highest-paid midfielder in the Premier League with £275,000-a-week wages.
