According to an interview with ESPN FC, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has come out in support of ex-United man Bastian Schweinsteiger's move to Major League Soccer, as announced on Tuesday.
"His move will come at the right time for him," Ferguson was quoted as saying. "He's a huge figure. He's very popular with the United players and fans, and he'll make an impact."
Ferguson -- the article notes -- was in New York City for the announcement of the 2017 International Champions Cup schedule when pressed for his thoughts on the growth and quality of the sport in the United States.
