Bastian Schweinsteiger is no longer a member of Bayern Munich. The German midfielder is now on his way to the Old Trafford to make a name for himself in a Manchester United outfit.

Schweinsteiger's transfer is an interesting one for both the club and the player. The German player is now 30, meaning that his prime years are either coming to an end or already past him. What does he actually have to offer his team next season? Here are three things that Schweinsteiger brings to United.

Versatility in the midfield

Schweinsteiger is quite versatile, playing in many cases as a box-to-box midfielder. He can hold and he has even had short stints as an attacking midfielder. He can, in essence, do whatever is asked of him. For someone like Louis van Gaal, this is a huge plus and undoubtedly one of the reasons for the purchase. He can take anyone out of the midfield when necessary and know that his new purchase is a utility man that can fill in the gaps when needed.

Assists, Key Passer

Additionally, Schweinsteiger would turn into the team's leading key pass creator, assuming that Angel Di Maria leaves. The Argentina had 1.9 key passes per game last season; Schweinsteiger had 1.6 in the Bundesliga and 1.8 across all tournaments for Bayern Munich. He also put up four assists for United; that would put him in a tie for fourth place with such players as Ander Herrera and Juan Mata.

Experience and Leadership

Another major reason to bring in the German is because of his leadership and experience. Schweinsteiger knows how to win. He has done it countless times with Munich and he can help teach a relatively young group how to achieve similar results. Just look at the makeup. Jan Mata is 27. Ander Herrera is 25. Daley Blind is 25. Rafael is 25. Adnan Januzaj is 20. Chris Smalling is 25. Marouane Fellaini is 27. Some of these players will be entering their prime years. Some are in the midst of their best years.

Having a strong leader there to help them along will only add to the experience and better the club.
