BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER INSISTS he is over his injury problems and believes Manchester United are capable of winning titles next season.
Schweinsteiger completed his move to United on Monday and signed a three-year contract following his arrival Bayern Munich.
The 30-year-old was limited to just 15 Bundesliga starts last season after helping Germany win the World Cup last summer, but he told MUTV: “Everything is fine and I’m looking forward to giving my best for Manchester United and I’m really happy to be here.
“Of course, I had a tough World Cup so after that I was injured until I think end of October.
“But then I had great weeks and months with Bayern, I was not injured and I am feeling great now at the moment.”
The midfielder added: “I’m here to win titles and that’s what United is used to, too. I’m looking forward to playing in the jersey.
“I know him [manager Louis Van Gaal], so it was a little bit easier, but it’s not about him, it’s more about the club, such a big club with tradition and, with this quality in the team, we can win titles next season.
“I’m looking forward to that moment in the jersey and to play for the team and the great supporters.”
I wish him the best of luck. St. Kilda is playing the Melbourne Demons, my team. He will have his hands full with the Dees forward line.
Great achievement. There has been a reduction in the Irish activity in the AFL this season. Basically only Touhy and McKenna. Would love if O’Connor could get more game time with Geelong and O’Riordan getting a start with Sydney.
A footballer from Kilkenny!!!! Wonder of wonders!!!
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: the dubs best footballer has Kilkenny blood in him
Well done to Joyce and that’s one less Kilkenny assassin that Galway have to worry about in the future
@Finnster: and Joyce a good Galway name!!!!!!
Great to see someone make it in professional sports. Well done
Fair play to him & the best of luck!!!
Some loss to the Kilkenny footballers though ……cough!!!
Paddy McCartin at half forward, sounds like a buck from Leitrim or Cavan.
@Enda Reynolds: whereas Maverick Weller is definitely one of them Wellers from Moate
