Man United’s Bastian Schweinsteiger offers to gift shirts after changing from #23 to #31 [Facebook]

Manchester United this summer splashed the cash on legendary Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The German captain was given the number 23 shirt on his arrival to Old Trafford but changed to his trademark #31 for the first day of the season.

A Bastian Schweinsteiger fan, who had bought his new Manchester United shirt during pre-season, sent the 31-year-old midfielder a message on Facebook.

Having made his debut during Saturday’s 1-0 win over Tottenham, Schweinsteiger replied to the fan with a Facebook status in which he made a kind offer to his followers on social media.

He promised to send ‘Florian’ – a fan who claims to have 23 Bastian Schweinsteiger shirts – a Manchester United shirt with his new number and also offered to give away 31 jerseys to fans wearing one of his old shirts.
