Man Utd midfielder Schweinsteiger dismisses Guardiola fitness swipe

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has snapped back at Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola has questioned the former Bayern captain's injury record.

"I'm here now to make an impact, a good one, and I'm looking forward to playing more games and getting better with my fitness levels," he said.

"It was important to play 30 minutes against Villa, step-by-step I want to get to 100 per cent.

"Our team-mates have done an amazing job making all the new players feel welcome.

"It's a good dressing room, everyone joining together, it's a lot of fun. The most important thing is that we're like a team. We will get to the next level."
