Bastian Schweinsteiger has backed Manchester United to challenge for multiple trophies this season.

The Germany international midfielder, 30, joined the Red Devils last week following a 17-year association with Bayern Munich.

Despite being at the club for a short period of time, Schweinsteiger already believes that United are ready to battle on multiple fronts during the 2015-16 campaign.

"I have to say the quality is huge," he told the club's official website. "I am sure with this team, it is possible to win titles and after a week I can say that.

"We have a good defence, we have good defensive players, and we have quality players who can make the difference in high-level matches. There are some guys who will come later, so I think this team has a lot of possibilities and qualities."

Schweinsteiger and his Manchester United teammates are currently on their pre-season tour of the USA.
