2) Schneiderlin suits their style
As well as simply being a top class midfielder – one of the finest in the Premier League this season, in fact, – Schneiderlin also suits United’s style of play perfectly. The 25-year-old has been playing in an attack-minded, technically gifted side that have performed beyond expectations under Ronald Koeman this season, and moving to United should prove a smooth transition in that aspect. He also bossed the game as the Saints won 1-0 at United earlier this season, out-performing those he’ll hope to get into the team ahead of next season.
