Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has lunch date with Ana Ivanovic

Bastian Schweinsteiger now has more than one reason to have a beaming smile on his face with the German back in the Manchester United fold and married to Ana Ivanovic.

The German looked more than happy to be holding hands with the tennis superstar as they walked through the streets of Cheshire before enjoying lunch together.

When asked if he hoped to play against West Ham in the EFL Cup quarter-final on Wednesday night, Schweinsteiger replied: 'I hope so. I want to play in every game.'
