          Manchester United's Bastian Schweinsteiger sues Chinese toymaker over lookalike NAZI doll called 'Bastian'

          The company describe the likeness of the doll, named 'Bastian', as 'purely coincidental', but the midfielder has contacted his lawyers



          Hong Kong firm DiD is behind the range. They also produce James Bond and WW1 soldier toys.

          A representative from the company, Patrick Chan, told Bild : "We offer no figures based on the football. The resemblance is purely coincidental.

          "The figure is based on a typical German. We believe most Germans look like this. Bastian is a common name in Germany."

          Bild acknowledged legal proceedings were underway, with media lawyer Ulrich Amelung adding: "This is a clear violation of the rights of Schweinsteiger.

          "The portrayal of him wearing a swastika uniform is a clear case of defamation and insult."
          Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is suing a Chinese toymaker over a lookalike Nazi doll named 'Bastian'.

          German World Cup winner and national team skipper Schweinsteiger has contacted his lawyers over the figure, although the company marketing the Bastian range insist the likeness is 'purely coincidental'.

          The toy soldiers are dressed as Wehrmacht veterans, including a swastika-bearing eagle on their uniform.

          German publication Bild fumed: "Our football hero Bastian Schweinsteiger as a Nazi soldier!"

          The figures had been due to hit the shelves in Europe for £65 each, but that now looks unlikely after Schweinsteiger took legal

          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

            The line "We believe most Germans look like this" is comedy genius

              Isn't that racist or something? Not bothered just asking?

                Well they are from Hong Kong where people have always said they all look alike so I think they're OK on this one.

                    Man Utd 0-0 Middlesbrough
                    Tim's not happy.

                    How incredibly bad does Rooney have to be before his media sycophants see it? He's paid £300,000 a week, the fifth highest paid player IN THE WORLD and he can't reliably pass, control a ball or hold the position he's supposed to for the benefit of the team. He's already shot physically, and he's got four more years on his contract. Good luck with THAT, United fans. Danny Mills and the rest of his vintage of England players who have this blind spot for Rooney as an ex colleague and friend need to stop making excuses for him.. be experts, not mates.
