Schweinsteiger joined by fiancee Ana Ivanovic in Manchester

The tennis star is to base herself nearby as she prepares for the Australian Open in January, with the club hierarchy happy for the popular German to have help settling in.

Ana Ivanovic has moved to Manchester to help fiancee Bastian Schweinsteiger settle in at Manchester United ahead of the Australian Open.

The tennis star, currently 16th in the world rankings, is taking the opportunity to train at the Bolton Tennis Arena and Didsbury Lawn Tennis Club as she prepares for the tournament beginning on Jan. 18 in Melbourne.

Schweinsteiger has struggled to rediscover his best form since a summer move from Bayern and the United hierarchy only view Ivanovic's relocation as a positive for the player.
