The news that Manchester United have firmed up their interest in Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin has set tongues wagging at Old Trafford.
Schneiderlin is widely regarded to be one of the most underrated midfielders in the Premier League having played a crucial part in the Saints’ success last term.
Louis van Gaal is looking for a replacement for the aging and injury prone Michael Carrick and he really does not need to look much further than the Frenchman.
Man United could have a real player on their hands if they sign Schneiderlin and supporters were delighted to hear of the club’s interest:

Schneiderlin himself has made no secret of the fact that he wants to make the next step in his career and play in the Champions League.
United are said to be preparing a £24m bid for the 25-year-old and it would be difficult to see Southampton turning it down given Schneiderlin’s desire to leave.
