Manchester United have completed the double signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin.
World Cup winner Schweinsteiger cost United around £14.5m and has signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford while Schneiderlin – who was playing League One football with Southampton six years ago – has signed a four-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
Schweinsteiger had been on Bayern Munich’s books for 17 years and won eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League during a trophy-laden spell that saw him win every major domestic honour.
The 30-year-old told the club’s official website: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bayern Munich, it has been an incredible journey and I didn’t take the decision to leave lightly.
“Manchester United is the only club that I would have left Munich for. I feel ready for this new and exciting challenge in what I regard as the most competitive league in the world and I am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal again.
“I will never forget my time at Bayern Munich and I would like to thank everyone at the club and the fans for the great memories.”
