Bayern Munich boss, Pep Guardiola, has claimed that Bastian Schweinsteiger has not been fit for the past three years.
The Germany captain left the Allianz Arena this summer to join Manchester United in a £14.4 million deal.
Guardiola says United will only get the best out of the 31-year-old, if he can finally put his injury behind him.
“When he does not have injury problems, I am completely convinced he will do very well at Manchester United,” he said.
“He is a top, top player. Unfortunately, the last three years he was never in good condition.
“When he is in very good condition, I am convinced he will be a good player for them. I really hope that is going to happen.”
Schweinsteiger made 27 league starts in the 2012/13 season, 22 the following season and 15 last season – his lowest tally since 2002/03.
