to be fair, my scorn for Bayern Munich probably clouds my judgement over this. I know he's still a pretty good player, but this doesn't address any of Uniteds biggest needs right now. United really need a defensive midfielder to replace Carrick and I highly doubt that Schweinsteiger is the guy to do that. It's basically van Gaals expensive luxury signing that isn't needed at all and that's what irks me with several huge holes in the squad to be filled (centre back, holding midfielder, striker).
Plus, like I said before: 31 years old, injury-prone, "post apex".
