Schar hopes to bring more than just defensive clearances to the table for United too.
He is also capable of popping up with the odd goal but he believes he can bring other qualities to United.
He added: “It is not that I am not a typical defender because I know I have to defend for the team.
“I will do anything if it means putting a zero on the scoreline in favour of Newcastle. What I can also do is help the team by showing my qualities.
“I can also bring good passing and long balls to the game as it has been my strengths throughout my career.
“I will keep that up and help this team.”
Schar joins Newcastle on the back of the World Cup finals in Russia in a tournament in which he almost ended up facing England.
He said: “It is a great experience to play at a World Cup and I am proud to play for my national team.
“At the end we went out against Sweden. We had an opportunity to gainmore success but we could not and that is football.
“Now I am focused and looking forward to new things here and a new season.”
