Manchester United fan 'steals Bastian Schweinsteiger's water bottle'

A Manchester United supporter allegedly swiped Bastian Schweinsteiger's water bottle from the Old Trafford dugout during the team's Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Twitter user @Danny_McMoomins has claimed that a friend of his decided to 'rob' the bottle before the German World Cup winner was brought on as a second-half substitute in the team's 1-0 victory.

In a series of pictures, @Danny_McMoomins shows how the United supporter managed to grab the water, but assistant manager Ryan Giggs spotted the theft and later "confiscated" the plastic bottle.

United will play Aston Villa away this Friday.

Been sent this. Mate (or his mate) robbed Schweinsteiger's water during the match, much to Giggs' displeasure. Ace. pic.twitter.com/qthRan26zq
