Franz Beckenbauer says being "away from the problems in Manchester" has helped rejuvenate Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The midfielder came on in the second half of Germany's 2-0 friendly win over Hungary on Saturday - his first appearance since Manchester United's 1-0 win away to Manchester City in the Premier League in March.
Schweinsteiger, 31, has struggled with a knee ligament injury for much of the year, casting doubt over his ability to participate meaningfully at Euro 2016.
But his hopes of being involved were boosted at Veltins-Arena against Hungary as Joachim Low's side seek to add the European Championship to their 2014 World Cup triumph.
