The Germany World Cup-winner signed for United in July 2015 and went on to make 35 appearances before departing in March 2017.
He played under the management of Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho, at a time of significant overhaul in terms of the playing squad.
Many of Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2013 title-winning side were coming to the end of their days with United, with several promising youngsters promoted to the first team in their stead.
Schweinsteiger was particularly impressed with fellow midfielder Scott McTominay, who was initially brought into the side by Mourinho, while Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard also caught the eye, with both enjoying their United breakthroughs in 2015/16 – Basti’s only full season with the club.
