5 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Bastian Schweinsteiger
3. He Missed 18 Games Due To Injury Last Season
For all of his strength and determination, the fitness question mark hangs heavily over Schweinsteigers head. Yes he will bring an abundance of leadership and experience to the Theatre of Dreams, but how often will he get the chance to be on stage? Last season, he missed 18 games due to tendon trouble. The year before, ankle and more tendon issues saw him miss 25. Schweinsteiger will soon be 31 and while his mind certainly has the tangibles to control a Premier League midfield, his body might not be able to keep up.
