Schweinsteiger thankful for '17 incredible years at Bayern'
Munich - Bastian Schweinsteiger has spoken for the first time about his decision to swap boyhood club FC Bayern München for Manchester United FC.
Well-wishes aplenty
Unsurprisingly, the Germany captain's thank you letter (he also posted a video message in his mother tongue) prompted a heartfelt response from a number of his Bayern team-mates...
Translation: Dear Basti, good luck in Manchester. I'll miss you in the dressing room and on the pitch.
Translation: Thanks Basti
Translation: Thanks Basti and good luck!!
Translation: It's a shame you're going, but obviously all the best! Bayern will miss you!
