Wayne Rooney praises "fantastic" Bastian Schweinsteiger

Bastian Schweinsteiger is a "fantastic player" and is a "great addition" to Manchester United, claims Wayne Rooney.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has insisted that new signing Bastian Schweinsteiger is a "great addition" to the team.

Louis van Gaal splashed out £15m to sign the 30-year-old midfielder from Bayern Munich, and Rooney has been impressed with how he had settled into the squad.

He is quoted as saying by The Telegraph: "Bastian is obviously a fantastic player. Everyone has known that over the years.

"But since he has joined up with the squad, he has been a fantastic person, talking with all the players and the young players too, which is a great help to them, having someone of that experience and who is that successful.

"He is a great addition to the team and I feel it will be a very good signing for us."

United start the season against Tottenham Hotspur.
