| Oliver Kahn says Bastian Schweinsteiger will struggle at Manchester United |
OLIVER KAHN has predicted Bastian Schweinsteiger will 'quickly' run into problems in the Premier League.
The German international signed for Manchester United this summer amid speculation that he is past his best.
And Kahn has also backed Pep Guardiola's decision to offload the midfielder despite his pedigree at Bayern. He added: "A club cannot make allowances for what a player has achieved for them, but they are responsible for looking at what he is currently doing for them. "I certainly don't think Schweinsteiger would have been suited to being a back-up player. With that in mind, this decision is understandable."
And Kahn has reiterated these fears, claiming the former Bayern Munich man will have his lack of fitness exposed.
He told magazine Kicker: "Bayern's style of play was suited to him, but he's going to have to adapt to an extremely high tempo at Manchester United.
"He could run into problems relatively quickly if he does not get back to a top physical condition."
