Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger, who now plays for Chicago Fire, has praised the impact of his former United teammate in the MLS.

"He's a huge impact for DC," he said told Goal.

"I think also it helped them a lot to play in a new stadium. They made some changes as well. They really play well, I like watching them a lot and hope it's going to be a good game for us.

"He's a great player.

"For me, he understands the game really well and he's always a threat for the opponent, and we have to keep an eye on him, definitely. But, also of course they have other players there that are also really good and can decide games.

"I remember once we played with Bayern at United and he made a dive in the last minute because I had a yellow card, and I got a yellow-red card.

"So the first thing I did when I came to United, I thanked him again for that. Off the field, we played golf with each other, that was always fun. We had a good time in Manchester."



Form is temporary, but class is permanent.
