Manchester United fans knew they weren’t getting the prime of Bastian Schweinsteiger’s career when they signed him for a cut-price €9million.
Still, they would have hoped to see a bit more of him at least.
The World Cup winning former Bayern Munich midfielder has not featured for the Red Devils since their FA Cup third round victory over Sheffield United, a game in which he suffered an ligament injury to his right knee.
Schweinsteiger has returned to Germany for treatment and Sport1 have revealed that the 31-year-old is expected to miss at least the month of February.
His role at the summer’s European Championships is not thought to be under threat, but that will be of little consolation to United fans.
