Germany and Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has met the family of Berkeley victim Nick Schuster.

Nick was a massive Bayern Munich fan and Schweinsteiger his favourite player; the pair once met and had a photo taken together. Before German training at the Aviva Stadium today, ahead of tomorrow European Championship qualifier with the Republic of Ireland, Schweinsteiger took time to meet Alexei Schuster, John Schuster and Graziella Schuster, as well as close friend Peter Fitzpatrick. Nick Schuster was killed along with five young Irish students when a balcony collapsed in Berkeley, California in June. 7 October 2015; Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger with members of the Schuster family and close friend, from left, Peter Fitzpatrick, Alexei Schuster, John Schuster and Graziella Schuster, pay tribute to Nick Schuster, who was one of six Irish students who tragically lost their lives in Berkeley, California, before the start of squad training.
