Bastian Schweinsteiger, the former German football star, revealed an exciting incident that brought him together with Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, who was obsessed with reaching the level of Manuel Neuer, the defender of Bayern Munich. Bastian Schweinsteiger was team-mates with David de Gea at Manchester United between 2015 and 2017 after playing alongside World Cup winner Manuel Neuer at Bayern Munich.Bastian Schweinsteiger has revealed David de Gea was furious at him for comparing the Manchester United stopper with Manuel Neuer.The retired Germany international won the World Cup with Neuer in 2014 and spent nearly two seasons playing alongside De Gea at Old Trafford. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Schweinsteiger remembered: "When I first came to Manchester United De Gea said, 'Tell me, am I better than Neuer?'"I was like 'No, you're not. It is a different level.' He was angry, but I explained why. Whenever he had a great game he would ask me again, I would still say he wasn't on that level."
Schweinsteiger joined United in the summer of 2015 after making 500 appearances for Bayern Munich, many of which were alongside Neuer. Schweinsteiger has questioned whether the former Molde and Cardiff manager can end the club's five-year trophy drought this season. The German added: "Manchester United are still in progress. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keeps mentioning that. It takes too long though for me in my eyes.
"If you look at Manchester City or Chelsea and the impact that Thomas Tuchel had on them - it was unbelievable."He knew exactly what the players needed to perform and they have a strategy and a DNA. They have more in their game.
"The experience of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane will definitely help the team, but the question is how much are they involved in the tactics of the team.
