Schweinsteiger plans United Oktoberfest trip

Manchester United's players could be set for an enjoyable trip to Munich, if Bastian Schweinsteiger gets his Oktoberfest wish.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is keen to show his new Manchester United teammates a good time in Munich, courtesy of a visit to Oktoberfest.

The renowned German beer festival is held annually in Munich and attracts visitors from around the world.

Schweinsteiger, signed from Bayern Munich last month, has proposed a team trip for United - but is unsure whether it will get the go-ahead from manager Louis van Gaal.

"I once said to Wayne [Rooney, United's captain], if we have the time, I want to invite the team to Oktoberfest," Schweinsteiger told Sky Deutschland.
