B. Schweinsteiger: van Gaal can bring "Man United" back to European elite

"Manchester United" newcomer Bastian Schweinsteiger believes that under the guidance of Louis van Gaal, the "Red Devils" can once again become a powerful force in European football.

Taking over the team last season from David Moyes, the Dutchman led "Man United" to fourth place in the "Premier League".

"I am positive that under the coaching of Louis van Gaal, "Manchester United" can enter a new era," - the German national team defender told Bild.

"That is exactly what excites me."

"I can promise to give all my strength and experience to reach the level of Madrid's "Real", "Barcelona" and Munich's "Bayern" on the international stage."

Schweinsteiger also said that van Gaal did not influence his decision to move to Manchester despite the fact that the coach had previously trained the defender.
