Louis van Gaal Questions Bastian Schweinsteiger’s Start At Manchester United Following Bayern Munich Move

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has laid criticism at Bastian Schweinsteiger’s shape since moving to Old Trafford this summer.

The German midfielder has been a huge hit with the Old Trafford faithful since the Red Devils pulled off a massive coup by bringing the 31-year-old to the Theatre of Dreams.

The veteran played under Van Gaal during the Dutchman’s two-year stint with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and he arrived in Manchester as one of the most decorated players of his generation.

However, Van Gaal believes Schweinsteiger is yet to reproduce the form he showed during his time in the Bundesliga.

‘The reason why we have bought Schweinsteiger is because he’s a player who can lead and guide a team,’ said Van Gaal.

‘It’s not just because of his football abilities that we bought him. Until now we haven’t seen the best of Schweinsteiger, the player I saw at Bayern Munich.

‘I believe that in every match we have played he could have played better.’
