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.
