Schweinsteiger appreciated Man Utd fans' support

Bastian Schweinsteiger admits he appreciated the passion of Manchester United's support during his two seasons at Old Trafford.

Schweinsteiger was limited to just 35 appearances in his two years at United but is still fondly remembered by many fans for his attitude while at the club.

In a Q&A, when asked what he loved most about his time at United, the World Cup winner replied: "Especially the fans. I will always keep in special memory!" along with a collage of pictures from his time at the club.

That wasn't the only United reference Schweinsteiger had either.

When asked to name the player he looked up to when playing as a kid he replied: "Eric Cantona was one of my childhood idols. Great footballer."
