Manchester United are chasing Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The Daily Star says Schweinsteiger remains Manchester United's No.1 midfield target this summer.

United have confirmed their interest in Schweinsteiger, but it remains to be seen if Bayern are willing to sell their iconic star to one of their biggest rivals.

Van Gaal is on the look out for a player who can perform in a deeper midfield role and provide strong competition for Michael Carrick.
