Schweinsteiger, 32, is now hoping to force his way into the reckoning for United’s second clash with the Hammers in three days.
The on Wednesday night.
Asked whether he expected to be involved, Schweinsteiger replied: “I hope so, I wan to play every game.”
He is yet to feature under manager Jose Mourinho in any capacity so far in 2016-17.
Mourinho banished the former World Cup winner to train with the reserves at the start of the campaign and even omitted him from the team photo.
However, the £170,000-a-week midfielder was named in the 25-man squad for the Premier League and could be called on to help a United side who have made their worst start to a season in a whopping 27 years.
