| Bastian Schweinsteiger believes he is close to reaching full fitness |
BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER believes he is reaching full fitness as he looks to make his first Premier League start for Manchester United.
After picking up a calf injury during United's pre-season tour of the USA, Schweinsteiger was confined to the bench for the season-opener against Tottenham last weekend.
However, the 31-year-old Germany international did make a substitute appearance in the second half to replace Michael Carrick.
And Schweinsteiger was pleased to gain valuable minutes in his first taste of Premier League football.
When asked of his injury, Schweinsteiger told manutd.com: "It’s fine. I had three or four days in America where I had this injury and it was not so good for my rhythm.
"Now I feel much better and also the game was very important to play 30 minutes.
"The training sessions are very important for me, too. I’m getting better and I hope I will be 100 per cent fit in the next week."
