MLS Side Chicago Fire announced the signing of 2014 World Cup Winner Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The Manchester United midfielder has been a long-term target for the franchise, having been spotted meeting with Fire manager Veljko Paunovic in November 2016.

The Bayern Munich legend joined Manchester United in the summer of 2015 but has just appeared in 18 games after falling out of favour with manager Jose Mourinho in 2016.

“We’re adding someone who has won at every level, including the very highest levels, and has done so in a way that is consistent with our values,” Fire general manager Nelson Rodriguez quoted.

“We as a club will now be forced to hold ourselves to a higher standard, an accountability level. Previously, I think we could satisfy ourselves with what is known domestically. Now we need to rise to a standard that is set more internationally.”
