Schweinsteiger may be settling in well at Old Trafford, but he sure hasn’t forgotten his country, and has recently expressed his desire to take his teammates out on a beer guzzling trip to Oktoberfest.
Schweinsteiger, who became the first German to playΒ for United after transferring from Bayern Munich in aΒ Β£14.4 million deal last month, and wants his teammates to have a taste of Bavaria. Revealing that he’s trying to convince captain Wayne Rooney to take them, he said, “I spoke to Rooney and discussed the possibility of me inviting the team to Oktoberfest but I donβt know how much time weβll have.”Β And there might actually be the perfect amount of time in the eight days between United’s games against Sunderland on September 26th and Arsenal on October 4th!
He definitely loves his beer:
