Bastian Schweinsteiger celebrated making his comeback for Manchester United after 255 days. The last time he played for the English club was on 20th March against Manchester City.
The 32-year old came on for Anthony Martial in the 87th minute of Manchester United’s 4-1 win against West Ham United in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup. Until then, Schweinsteiger had not played at all this season under Jose Mourinho. He was on the bench for the first time during the 1-1 draw against West Ham in the league on Sunday.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (3’, 90’) and Anthony Martial (48’, 62’) both scored twice against West Ham last night. Mourinho received a ban from the FA just a few hours before kick-off for kicking a water bottle during the match on Sunday and being sent to the stands. Mourinho has to pay a fine of around 18,700 euros for his actions.

Liverpool FC won 2-0 on Tuesday evening against Leeds United to reach the semi-finals. Hull City also secured their place in the semi-finals after beating Newcastle United 4-2 on penalties. In January, Manchester United will face Hull City in the semi-finals, whilst Liverpool FC will face Southampton. The final will take place at Wembley on 26th February.
