Absolutely love Schneiderlin and everything he brings on the pitch, he's the type of player our midfield has needed for a long time.
Delighted that he's a Manchester United player.

I certainly feel a lot calmer when he's on the pitch. Some of his passing decisions are a bit erratic and he can be laboured on the ball but that'll improve after playing with Carrick and Schweinsteiger for a while. Definitely think he'll be our best signing in the long run.
I liked at Southampton and for the national team and now like him even more. He's an intelligent player and no doubt he'll work on ironing out his mistakes on the ball.
He isn't quite comfortable enough for a midfield two and I think he'll take a further step if we go for a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 or if our second striker learns to be more available. Absolutely immense defensively and it is a beauty to see how he reads the game then pushes forward aggressively and wins the ball back.
His passing is actually very good for a defensive midfielder but I'm not sure it is good enough to play in a midfield duo where you pretty much need to twist/turn your opponent to have a clear defense splitting pass available, or release the ball accurately under massive pressure.

Didn't he play in a midfield two at Southampton alongside Wanyama, behind a front 4?
Yeah, that was my thoughts as well. They often deployed a 4-2-3-1.
But here we have basti/Carrick as DLP whereas wanyama is also a destroyer like Morgan.
Man Utd 3:1 Brugge
This man is a fecking machine. Up and down the pitch all day long
Passing not been good enough though
Passing has been fine. Guy's a complete monster be interested to see his stats by the end of this game, lost count of his tackles and interceptions.
Does he ever get tired ? Ridiculous stamina and pressure from start to finish.
Yep, he runs all day. He has 3 lungs.
Fast becoming one of my favourite players.
Wow, I thought his running was excellent in the first half. Didn't even tire out in the second, doing the same.
He's the type of midfielder that you play against who by the 6th minute really starts to make you hate yourself.
It's been said before but he's like a prime Darren Fletcher for us. Constantly worked his bollocks off all game.
This. Great energy and his defensive contribution is awesome, but he was quite poor on the ball tonight. Passing was sloppy on a few occasions.
The Fletcher comparison is pretty apt but physically I think he's more like his French compatriot in Evra, freakish levels.
No fuss Morgan. He just works.
Probably my favourite performance of his so far, we really needed our spine to be solid in a game of this magnitude and he was very reliable and gave us a great platform from which to mount attacks and was solid defensively too. He is the key piece of the midfield puzzle, without him we have no real defensive stability or legs in the midfield.
Brilliant work rate but again, on the ball he is too anonymous.
The Broom.
He did play as a box to box player along side Wanyama. But Before that season, he played as a proper defensive midfielder for their team.
Needs to make better decisions with the ball if he has ambitions of being box to box.
I think it's great that his name isn't mentioned a lot when he's playing, means he's doing his job right.
Great engine and energy, his passing was a bit worse than his previous games though. Still a good performance.

I like him, he does need to improve his decision making around the box but that will come with time.
passes it well enough. he is the shield.
I'm not worried about his passing, he's shown enough at Southampton to say he'll improve. His off the ball work is top class.
Too many slack moments again. Got through a lot of work again though.
87% passing accuracy and 10 kms distance covered. He's been immense for us.
More Hargreaves than Fletcher for me. Startling lack of awareness on the ball at times but non-stop energy and aggression.
Little sloppy but an excellent player who will only get better as we go along. First choice midfielder.
I'm surprised by his long range passing, it's actually very good
Its always been good tbf to him
he did very well tonight he made some very good interceptions that could have led to danger.
Had a feeling this thread would get less replies than what it deserved. The guy did his Jin excellently. Solid in midfield.
He thinks he is still short athletically.I suspect it's not going to be until our first really big game before Morgan really stands out
Only complaint with him is his tendency to take a few touches too many which leads to him being dispossessed in danger areas. Other than that he's top notch. Lost count of the amount of tackles and interceptions he made tonight.
