Bastian Schweinsteiger had a witty response when congratulated on scoring his first Old Trafford goal against Wigan Athletic.

The Manchester United midfielder made his first start in over a year in the FA Cup fourth round, and marked his return with an assist and a goal.

Spotted with wife Ana Ivanovic in Hale on Monday afternoon, he was offered congratulations on his strike in front of the United fans - after previously netting for the club against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

But he smiled and replied: "No, this is my second goal at Old Trafford. My first was for Bayern Munich."

Schweinsteiger scored the equaliser for Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter final in 2014, cancelling out Nemanja Vidic's opening strike, before being sent off in the dying stages of the game.

What time does the transfer window close?

He was suspended for the return at the Allianz Arena, which United lost 3-1 despite taking the lead through Patrice Evra.

However, it might not be his last goal at the Theatre of Dreams, after Jose Mourinho told reporters after the 4-0 victory against Wigan Athletic that Schweinsteiger would remain at the club and be added to the Europa League squad ahead of the round of 32 clash with St Etienne.

Mourinho said: "Yeah, he's staying and he's going to the Europa League list," Mourinho said. "Because we open spaces with [Memphis] Depay and [Morgan] Schneiderlin.

"And we don't have many players and in midfield we don't have many options, so obviously he's an option. Ninety minutes today was probably too hard for him, I think from minute 65 or 70 it was a bit difficult but important for him to have this impact in his body.

"And now I think he's happy and if he was a good professional when he was not playing, having some minutes and opportunities he's going to be the same good professional.

"With so many competitions and so many matches we have he is an option."
