Bastian Schweinsteiger delighted with Manchester United win

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has branded his team's 2-1 win over Swansea City in the Premier League the "best way to start off the new year".

The Red Devils entered the match on the back of an eight-game winless run in all competitions, but managed to secure all the points courtesy of goals from Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney.

After the match, Schweinsteiger took to Twitter to reveal his delight.
