The German World Cup winner says the tradition and quality of the club, and not the manager, were his main motivations for swapping the Allianz Area for Old Trafford.
Bastian Schweinsteiger says Louis van Gaal was not a big factor in his decision to join Manchester United.
The German World Cup winner has moved to Old Trafford, signing a three-year contract with the Red Devils.
Schweinsteiger has worked with the United boss previously during his time at Bayern Munich but says the allure of the club enticed him to Old Trafford.
