Man United fans couldn’t contain their excitement when they saw their starting XI to face Swansea this afternoon.
Red Devils boss Louis Van Gaal made two changes to the side that played Club Brugge earlier this week, with summer arrivals Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin coming in for Michael Carrick and Adnan Januzaj.
And it was Van Gaal’s decision to play his two new midfielders together that had United fans licking their lips on Twitter. The duo’s names can be a bit of a mouthful, so the United faithful have come up with a unique nickname for them – Schmidfield.
Some will love it, some will think it’s cringy, but United fans don’t seem to care much. They’re just absolutely delighted to have both of them starting for their side, especially with the XI to face Swansea looking like their strongest available team.
As you can image, the reaction on Twitter was dominated by optimism, expectation and a new-found love for Schmidfield…
