Bastian Schweinsteiger has only been a Manchester United player for a matter of months but he seemed to embrace the history of the club when greeting legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson on Monday night.
The duo shook hands and shared a lengthy chat ahead of Germany's game against Scotland at Hampden Park.
Ferguson, a long-term admirer of Schweinsteiger, never got to sign the midfielder himself but will be delighted he is now plying his trade at Old Trafford.

The former Bayern Munich captain made the £13.2million move this summer, linking up with former boss Louis van Gaal.
He has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons and his fitness has been questioned early on in his Premier League career, but the Schweinsteiger played the full 90 minutes for the World Cup-winners in Glasgow.
Germany beat Scotland 3-2 in their Euro 2016 qualifier in Group D, with Thomas Muller scoring twice and setting up the third for Ilkay Gundogan.
A Mats Hummels own goal and a James McArthur strike gave the hosts a lifeline, but Germany were too strong on the night.
