Former Manchester United defender, Axel Tuanzebe, has snubbed Cristiano Ronaldo as he named Bastian Schweinsteiger the best Red Devils player he has played with.
The 27-year-old Tuanzebe, did not find enough playing time during six seasons at Manchester United, making 37 appearances across competitions.
He was later loaned out to Aston Villa but while at United, he shared the pitch with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo.
However, instead picking from both club legends, he went with Bayern Munich legend Schweinsteiger.
Schweinsteiger played for United for two seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17).
Tuanzebe said on The Overlap, “He was 34, 35 at the time. … I could not get anywhere near him, and I’m 19 at this point, so I’ve got legs for days!. He was three, four, five steps ahead of me. He knew how to control the ball and make me off balance.
“He was incredible in the box, I’ve never seen a player. … he had an ability to slow down time. The ball, it’s like a ping pong in there especially at that level.
“You had a box of Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ashley Young, Michael Carrick, Schweinsteiger. In four or five days (of training) you might see him in the middle twice. It was unbelievable.”
Schweinsteiger left United in the summer of 2017 and retired in January 2020 while with MLS side Chicago.
