Schweinsteiger and Giggs: From competitors to player and mentor

Bastian Schweinsteiger was slightly nostalgic on Wednesday when remembering his playing career at Bayern Munich.

The German midfielder, who completed his £14.4million move to Manchester United on Monday, posted two photos of he and Red Devils legend Ryan Giggs.

The first one shows the pair on the pitch after battling it out in a Champions League match while the second image has Giggs, now United assistant manager, and Schweinsteiger chatting as allies.

30-year-old Schweinsteiger is a self-confessed United fan from way back and can only be thrilled to now be sharing ideas and thoughts on the beautiful game with a man such as Giggs.
