chweinsteiger has revealed that the Spaniard was eager to discover how he compared to Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer between the posts.

"When I first came to Manchester United De Gea said 'tell me, am I better than Neuer?' I was like 'no, you're not. It is a different level'," Schweinsteiger told BBC 5Live.

"He was angry, but I explained why.

"Whenever he had a great game he would ask me again, I would still say he wasn't on that level."
