I hope it's true. Though still think he is Arsenal bound.
Morgan Schneiderlin | BBC: Morgan Schneiderlin is currently having a medical at Manchester United.

Think this pretty much optimises what we can get from Schneiderlin.
I'm not completely convinced it's true, but given how United seem to be doing their business nowadays I'd be far from shocked if they signed him.
As in his work rate
You mean because of our propensity to overpay for shit players, and you think he is shit, or because we seem to be clandestine with our transfers these days?

Because United's transfer dealings are done more discreetly. I'm a fan of Schneiderlin and believe he'd be a very good addition to their squad.
Very good player. Good as a "destroyer" but has decent short range one touch passing, moving and adequate enough long range passing. Technically he's fine, but his overall attributes makes him the type of player I feel we are missing. But importantly will be a presence in the midfield fulcrum for us to keep possession and let the attackers do their thing. Not saying we shouldn't bring in an attacker or two more, but he'd be there to fill in for the Carrick role. One that most of us can see we miss the most when Carrick isn't there, or isn't at his best. So yeah, want.
Still no concrete news.
Would love this to be true. Quality player and just what we need for that role.
That's in Brighton, not Manchester!!!!111!!!
Are some really doubting his technique?
Yep, he should be.
Taking him under Arsene's noses would be grand. I think he's the one player Arsenal are missing to mount a proper title challenge. If we could get him a Carrick, Herrera and Schneiderlin midfield would make me very, very happy. Not getting my hopes up yet though.
Desperate for someone of his style and quality to come in for Carrick when injured. He'd also be an ideal partner to play alongside him when needing a more defensive set-up. Blind can be back-up to Shaw.
He could also learn off Carrick before replacing him long term.

I personally don't think we need 2 defensive minded midfielders (Carrick Schneirderlin) for most games.
Because Fellaini and Schneiderlin have nothing to do near the #10 position, and unlike Fellaini, Schneiderlin is good as a traditional #8/#6.
Got me !
It's probably Bulls..t but he really is someone we should be chasing
Schneiderlin will not be a squad player though, so 25m is justifiable for a starter at a top club.
I agree.
Carrick is 34 and increasingly injury prone and Blind is terrible in that position IMO. We definitely need a player of this profile I believe.
He's a quality player, just because he plays for a lesser club doesn't change that fact. The way some people talk about him here, you'd think he's some plank, whose only work is to be a "destroyer". Our midfield is too open at times, too nice at times, we don't have a ball winner there, it's a very important yet underrated ingredient in a midfield. I'll be happy if we sign him, he'll bring a lot of defensive solidity, and add that bit of steel, something that is clearly lacking. You can't say he's not good enough because he can't pass it like Carrick then ignore other excellent elements of his game, that's like saying we never should have signed Carrick as he didn't have the qualities that made Keane great.
Would love him to come here...
This is how the rest of today will occur :
Check his agents/wifes/pet budgie's instagram accounts.
Have sportingwitness verify or call it bs.
Check any Southampton to Manchester flights with him on them.
Have the MEN claim its bs
Have Mark Ogden claim he was first with the news
Jamie Jackson and Ducker tweet its untrue.
SSN Sources claim it as there own news.
Arsenal sign him for 3 million.
Howard Nurse tell us Utd are not interested.

Well you can add me to the list of people you argue with a lot who think Schneiderlin is the bees knees
Would buying Schneiderlin possibly signify a move towards a 433 with the pivot facing forward in LGV's language- aka as a 4-2-3-1. If so it might make much better use of Rooney.
-----------------Striker-------
Depay------Rooney----Mata
--------Schneiderlin---Herrera
That said I'd prefer Nani back and Mata behind the striker

yepp and another person I respect!
Me neither, but I think LvG likes that kind of setup, which in turn, allows the players ahead of them to concentrate on the offensive stuff
So bascially LVG wants a poacher type striker but he got rid of our best poacher in Hernandez. Yeah, that does make sense. Not to mention the statement about Fellaini's "immense" work rate
Am I right in saying he would count as a homegrown player too, due to how long he's spent in this country? Anyway, £25M is a fair price in today's market. How many players will we find with. A similar skill-set who are superior to him?
Tell Satan I said hi
Schneiderlin is such an unsexy signing.
Kondogbia is superior.
I'm not sure how anyone can think he would be anything other than a superb signing, especially at the price quoted (£25m). Schneirderlin is a quality player who has been consistently excellent in a position we need to strengthen. He's great.
When I get back home tonight, I expect him signed ok lads? Make it happen
Is Canal Plus seen as reliable in France?
Herrera can't play deep.
It's just the classic DM, box-to-box and 10 combo. Herrera would be box-to-box, it's very different than playing as a pivot in front of the back 4 which he has done in a few games.
Clearly schneiderlin would sit while Herrera carried the ball forward playing 1,2s into the box and supporting the attack from the edge. I would expect those 2 to mimick scholes/Keane, although to a lesser point of course. With our defence (smalling otamendi Shaw rb) we have a quick defence to play high pressure. Herrera and schneiderlin are great at pressing and winning the ball up high. Add depay+Nani on the wings with mata/Rooney or whoever as the 10 and striker, we are onto a winner IMO.
Yes, they are reliable, there is no reason for them to say something that isn't true, someone that they trust gave them the information. The real question is , is their informant reliable?
If you are gonna have Carrick and Schneiderlin as 2 Pivot's then the AM needs to be more attacking.
A Mata or Di Maria kind who can give you high number of goals, assists and attacking contributions.
Some of the midfield combo including Schneiderlin people are posting here simply lacks goals/assists and creativity when teams sit back.
