Manchester United accelerated its recruitment drive
this offseason by signing Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger and
France international Morgan Schneiderlin on Monday, as the team revamps
its midfield
Having already brought in Italy right back Matteo Darmian and Netherlands winger Memphis Depay, United has reportedly spent 40 million pounds ($62 million) on a pair of central midfielders. United manager Louis van Gaal oversaw a spending spree of about 150 million pounds (then $250 million) last summer as the 20-time English champions looked to recover their lofty status after a woeful season under David Moyes in 2013-14, when the team finished seventh.
Bayern's Bastian Schweinsteiger watches the ball during the German Soccer Cup round of sixteen match between FC Bayern Munich and Eintracht Braunschweig in Munich, southern Germany/ . Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says Bastian Schweinsteiger is leaving the club for Manchester United. Rummenigge says Saturday July 11, 2015 "we tried to convince him to stay at Bayern Munich, but I have a bit of understanding for a player who has been 17 years at the club, that he wants to try something different."
