Morgan Schneiderlin arrives Everton for medicals

Morgan Schneiderlin is currently undergoing a medical at Finch Farm, Everton ahead of his £22million move from Manchester United.

Mourinho said yesterday that he would be disappointed to lose Schneiderlin, but didn’t want to hold him down against his will. “I’m sad, but I’m also happy. I’m sad because I like him and he could be an option for us in a long season. But I’m happy for him because he wants to play and be an important player for the team. So I’m happy for a very good person, someone I only have good things to say about.” The Portuguese said.

Schneiderlin reveals Rooney does not know who Anthony Martial is

Wayne Rooney had to ask Morgan Schneiderlin who Manchester United-bound forward Anthony Martial is, the midfielder has revealed. United captain Rooney approached his French teammate after the defeat to Swansea, when reports were first emerging that manager Louis van Gaal was trying to buy Monaco forward Martial, in a bid to discover about the 19- year-old.

Schneiderlin, who is in the France squad with Martial, replied that the teenager has similarities with Thierry Henry.

“To be honest, [on Sunday] on the plane, Wayne Rooney came to speak to me and asked me who Martial was, because the English press had started to speak,” the former Southampton player told reporters in France.
“I told him he’s a great player with great potential, who has played some good matches with Monaco last season and the beginning of this. I told him he is technical and powerful. A little like Thierry Henry, even if it’s the press who are making that comparison.”

L’Equipe has reported that the deal could eventually be worth €80 million, which would be a higher fee than Real Madrid paid Juventus for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.

Schneiderlin scores in his Manchester United debut

Morgan Schneiderlin made his debut for Manchester United colorful by scoring the goal that gave the team victory against Club America. The midfielder heads a cross from Juan Mata beyond Club America’s goalkeeper, Hugo Gonzalez to score the only goal of the game in just five minutes.
New signings, Matteo Darmian and Memphis Dephay were also in the starting lining up for Manchester United while Bastian Schweinsteiger came in as a sub.
Notably, David De Gea was missing in goal owing to a ‘minor injury’ according to Van Gaal and he was replaced by Johnstone who put in a decent shift.
