Yeah I think so too, he was awesome.

His best match for us and played the entire 90 minutes. Looked more fit and showed a lot of experience. He has a very good understanding of when to sit back and when to bomb forward. Also, on several occasions he just made the center of the field look so comfortable. Liverpool wanted so much to press us into mistakes but BFS just has such an innate sense of how to turn away from danger and find the right pass. If he can get one level higher we can compete.
The scary part is that Fußballgott is not even close to 100%, still pretty much building towards optimum form and fitness. Think he'll be immense for us especially in the bigger games (like today), both in Europe and in the league. That's where he was at his best for Bayern for the past decade or so, vs United or Madrid or Barcelona. We've lacked that type of imperious presence in the midfield for a while now. Carrick is brilliant no doubt, but a bit more static and methodical. Bastian on the other hand isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty if it comes to that, to go with his technical ability and passing range. Add that to the obvious leadership ability and calming influence already on display, and he might prove to be one of the most astute signings of the summer window for the entire league.
His name is Bastian Fecking Schweinsteiger!
He was our General today. Immense performance.
I thought he was superb today and his energy level was outstanding. We've got some real steel in there with the likes of Schweinsteiger, Shaw, Smalling.
Man of the match for me
My MOTM, he was a complete boss today, invited pressure but never fazed and strong in the air & tackling.
If I was marking him I'd probably just stand there with my jaw on the floor

I love this picture that Mata just posted. You can just see how much Bastien is in aura at playing for United in Old Trafford.
His performance today will go under the radar because of other things that happened, but I thought that he was fantastic today. He played twice for Germany last week and was up and down today for 94 mins, which was extremely positive considering the question marks over his fitness.
100% agree. I voted him motm as well. Outstanding performance.My MOTM, he was a complete boss today, invited pressure but never fazed and strong in the air & tackling.

Let's see how 'flat' the dressing room is now!
His energy was far better than I imagined I would see. Absolute general in the middle. Bossed the game from start to finish.
Love this man
Class, leadership and drive the things we lacked in midfield over the last few years. He is the personification of Midfield General.
For someone who "hasn't been fit for years", he ran his bollocks of. Immense pressing at times.
Fantastic game.
Fantastic game.
What a lucky bastard having his brother playing for the club he loves so he gets great tickets and to walk on that pitch under lights!
I'm starting to think Basti is as much as an United fan as his brother but is protecting his image at Bayern by not saying he's loved them all along
Doesn't Felix have to exercise for the winter competitions. I want to see him ahead of Hirscher. (nobody knows who you are in England anyways...)
And why does the U17 not play this weekend.
I have to say that this two guys for sure look better in Bayern kits...
Best United performance today by a mile, after watching him midweek for Germany I thought he would be 'rested' today, (LVG knows best !) he looked like he had a real hunger and really stepped up his game, only regret is that we never signed him when Keano retired !
Breathtaking. Need a gift of that backheel flick in the second.
Schweinsteiger is built for games like today (how ruddy good was he in the World Cup Final?!), if he stays healthy he will be an absolute bargain.
Controlling midfield performance.
Thought he was fantastic today, and you can tell he's getting back to his full fitness. On the ball, I never had any doubts. I mean, he's proven that. Off the ball; however, in previous games, he's looked a bit leggy. He was everywhere today. Great performance.
Ana Ivanovic was also in Manchester today, surprised that there haven't been any pics.
Thats why he ran his socks off
He was brilliant. He just knows how to play football.
I keep thinking he's Shaw though

Neureuther probably knows it's pretty pointless trying that so he rather watches United
yep, me too.
Same here. Both have blond hair, both run in an upright posture.
Both have yellow boots, too.
ha, made the same post in the matchday thread.
Guys, I think both have yellow boots which might also be a reason we keep mistaking the two of them.
An absolute boss. The player I have always wanted and dreamt of at United, and he's here now, amazing.
Both are fecking awesome, too.
Class.
Keane-esque.
He's had great peformances, but he's never had the complete performance I saw today. Movement, stamina, control, intelligence, quick thinking, leadership... Today is as complete a midfield performance as I've seen in years.
