Bastian Schweingsteiger planning Man United Oktoberfest trip with Wayne Rooney

Bastian Schweingsteiger has revealed that he has already spoken to Wayne Rooney about the possibility of a Manchester United trip to beer festival Oktoberfest.

The world-famous festival, which runs for 16 days in Munich each year and starts in September, is a favourite amongst Bayern Munich players.

And Schweingsteiger, who joined United from Bayern Munich earlier this summer, says that he has already thought about planning a team trip to Germany.

“I spoke to Rooney and discussed the possibility of me inviting the team to Oktoberfest but I don’t know how much time we’ll have,” Schweingsteiger is quoted as saying by Metro.

The Germany international was a second-half substitute and played the final 30 minutes as Louis van Gaal’s men claimed a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League opener on Saturday.
