​New Bayern Munich signing Joshua Kimmich has warned Bastian Schweinsteiger that he will challenge him for his place in Bayern's starting XI next season.





Scwhweinsteiger has been linked with a move to Manchester United all summer, but if he does stay in Munich, then it seems as if he will now have a fight on his hands to retain his starting spot in the team,





Kimmich is set to join Bayern this summer for a fee of £5.7m from RB Leipzig after agreeing a five-year-deal with the club and concedes that he can barely believes that Bayern chose to sign him out of all of their possible targets.









Nevertheless, he is confident in his own ability and thinks he can come into the side and make a claim for first team football straight away.





"Bayern could buy any No.6 in the world so that they want me is a great honour," the 20-year-old told Sonntag in Prag.





"Mr Guardiola has already told me what he likes about me.





"Bayern is a new world for me; a new challenge. Obviously Schweinsteiger is a great role model for me but, from next season, we are team-mates and, even in some ways, competitors."





Kimmich has made 53 appearances for RB Leipzig since 2013, scoring three goals in the process. He is widely believed to be one of the hottest prospects in German football.
