You could see they had something – Bastian Schweinsteiger names 3 players who he knew will have a bright future at Manchester United

 

Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has picked three players who he knew will have a bright future at the club. The German midfielder played with some of the young guns in the youth team during his stint and he was impressed with three youngsters of the team.

Schweinsteiger picked Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay and Jesse Lingard as the three players who impressed him the most in the youth team and he thought they will have a bright future ahead of them.

All of these three players were able to make it to the senior team and rose through the ranks. The German stated that he could see they had something special and had the skills to go a long way in their respective careers.

Schweinsteiger told UTD Podcast: “I tell you one thing: when I was with Mourinho and training with the second team and the Under-16 team with United, I saw a lot of good players. One was Scott McTominay, and I thought he will make it for sure, he had those abilities. So United have a good youth team – you just need to use them and give them the time to develop.”

“I remember Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard when Louis van Gaal was coach. You could see they had something and now they’re playing for the national team. There’s definitely a big chance for United to get those youth players in the first team.”

Meanwhile, Scott McTominay made his senior debut for Red Devils in 2017 under Jose Mourinho while Lingard and Rashford got their breaks under van Gaal in the 2015-16 season.

On the other hand, Bastian Schweinsteiger signed up with Manchester United in 2015 from German top club Bayern Munich. The German played 35 matches across all competitions for the Red Devils before leaving the club in 2017.

Manchester United will next face Middlesbrough in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford.
