Southampton star closes in on Old Trafford transfer.
Man United have agreed a deal to sign Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin according to the Manchester Evening News.
The Manchester Evening News claims the 25-year-old will join the Old Trafford club’s squad as they fly out for pre-season tour of America, though the fee for the deal is yet to be announced by either club.
Morgan Schneiderlin has completed seven seasons at St Mary’s, helping the south-coast side recover from relegation to League One and aiding their climb all the way up to the upper reaches of the Premier League.
The French international will hope that a high-profile move to Man United will help him to secure a more prominent role in Didier Deschamps’ national team set-up.
Morgan Schneiderlin has been keen to secure a move to a side that can offer him Champions League action (via the Guardian) and Louis van Gaal successfully secured a return to the top table of European football with Man United’s fourth place finish in 2014/15.
