Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and wife Ana Ivanovic met Ed Sheeran as the couple relaxed on Saturday night.

Schweinsteiger and Ivanovic, who are big fans of the singer, went to see him in concert at the Allstate Arena in Chicago.

The one-time World Cup winner, who now plays for Chicago Fire in MLS, posted a picture of the three of them on Instagram.

'Had a great time with my wife @anaivanovic at the Ed Sheeran concert. Nice to meet you, Ed,' the midfielder captioned the photograph.

Schweinsteiger made his debut for Chicago Fire in April but suffered a calf injury earlier this month.

'He's doing treatments,' coach Veljko Paunovic said. 'We are evaluating him on a daily basis. Hopefully he can be ready for the game. It's not impossible, but we still have to be careful.'
