Schweinsteiger saying it's been a dream of his to play for Manchester United is borderline mystical. I know this sounds childish, but this guy could have a talismatic effect on the club - Toure, Cantona-esque. His English too, leadership-wise, it's too good to be true. His brother is supposed to be a huge United fan, so im sure that helped persuade him  sometime last year when his name was being floated he actually stated that his family are United supporters, he was obviously intent on staying at Bayern, but the attraction was there. |

First time since 2008 our midfield will genuinely be at an elite level. Bastian just emits an air of leadership and organisation - something we've learned to live without in the middle. I cant wait for Spurs August 8th

This line up is going to make it attractive to any top player wanting trophies. Guarantee that Morgan S was influenced by some degree when the arrival of Basti was put to him. That photo of Giggs and Basti sitting and chatting, waiting to go on tour, awesome, just awesome republikofmanc.proboards.com/post/596151Big Brother outfitted them all in the right kind of colors \0/ |

The man looks positively gleaming in all the photos so far.
This is the type of guy, besides having talented players, that you need to win trophies.

Former Manchester United defender Danny Higginbotham has dismissed suggestions that the recent addition of Bastian Schweinsteiger was risky business by the club. The Red Devils confirmed yesterday afternoon that they had signed the Germany captain from Bayern Munich for a fee reportedly in the region of £14m. The midfielder's arrival at Old Trafford has been met with doubts from some pundits, who have raised questions over his age - Schweinsteiger will turn 31 just before the start of the new Premier League season - and his injury record of late. However, Higginbotham has told Sports Mole that the World Cup winner's style of play should mean that he will have no issue when it comes to adapting to the English game. "If you're talking about a player that relies on energy and running all over the pitch, then maybe there might be a few question marks. In a lot of careers, the peak age is 30 - that was the case for me," said the 36-year-old. "If you look at Schweinsteiger, great players like him have a yard in their head. He's not going to be running up and down the pitch like a mad man. He's going to sit in front of the back four and will dictate the play from there. "He will have the legs around him with the likes of Morgan Schneiderlin and Ander Herrera. Yes, you can get injuries when you're older, but I don't have any concerns." Higginbotham, who made a handful of appearances for United prior to his departure for Derby County in 2000, also stressed that Schweinsteiger would provide manager Louis van Gaal with some leadership qualities on the pitch - something that he conceded has been lacking following the departures of some big names. "If you look at Manchester United when they were the dominant force, when they did concede the first goal, to come back and win a game is a big thing and that is where leaders come into it. The manager cannot always rectify things on the side of the pitch, it has to come down to player management," he added. "They've lost so many leaders in recent years - the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Ryan Giggs. Leaders do not have to shout, they can lead by example on the pitch. They've been short of those in recent years and Schweinsteiger is massive for that, particularly in the position that he plays in." Schweinsteiger flew out to the USA yesterday with his new teammates on the club's pre-season tour and he could make his first appearance in United colours against Club America on Saturday. www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/news/higginbotham-no-schweinsteiger-concerns_233394.html?utm_source=twitter_links&utm_medium=SMManUtd&utm_campaign=twitter |

I can't wait until Basti completely beasts players such as Touré and Matić when we face them next season.
Ain't setting him up to fail either,far too good a player for that.
Three weeks four days peeps.........
