Bastian Schweinsteiger is fast becoming a fan favourite an Manchester United.
The German came to Old Trafford with open arms welcoming him at the gates. He departed his boyhood club in the most classy of ways, he’s been putting in shifts for Louis van Gaal and he seems to be an all-round good guy.
What’s more is that, despite spending 17 years at Bayern, he has submersed himself in the United way of life.
Then, after beating Liverpool, the World Cup-winner put out a deadly photo of him and his brother Tobias – along with alpine ski racer Felix Neureuther – celebrating the win in an empty Old Trafford.
Many thanks for the fantastic support of my great German fans @tobits7 and Felix #Neureuther. pic.twitter.com/4feD6xGHE1

Naturally, the picture melted the hearts of many a United fan the world over.
But, even more naturally, the tweet provoked a string of strange responses.
Some want a new father.
