He's barely been in Manchester a couple of weeks, yet Bastian Schweinsteiger has already got his sights set on heading back to Munich.

But fear not, United fans. Bastian merely wants his new teammates to sample the Bavarian city's legendary beer festival - Oktoberfest. https://twitter.com/brendonmata8/status/620980259714805760 "I once said to Wayne [Rooney], if we have time, I want to invite the team to Oktoberfest," the World Cup winner told Sky Deutschland. However, convincing Louis van Gaal about a trip to Munich may be a little trickier. "I do not know if we have that much time, and if it has the coach's approval," he added. After a stint as Bayern manager, Louis van Gaal knows all about the perils of the traditional beerfest... https://twitter.com/bayerncentral/status/602232207969800192 We'd love to see Rooney and co joining Schweinsteiger in donning lederhosen and imbibing the good stuff - especially if it leads to magical scenes like these... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VnKQVXtFfo
