Schneiderlin is off to Everton

Date published: 11 January 2017


JOSE Mourinho expects Morgan Schneiderlin to join Everton after Manchester United accepted a £22million bid.

The 27-year-old moved to Old Trafford from Southampton in a deal worth around £25million in July 2015 but has struggled to make an impact since Mourinho's arrival last summer.

West Brom were hoping to sign Schneiderlin, but the France international looks set join former Saints boss Ronald Koeman at Goodison Park after an initial £22m deal was agreed.

It is understood realistic add-ons could take the deal up to £24m, with the midfielder now set to undergo a medical at Everton.

Mourinho said after United's EFL Cup win against Hull that Schneiderlin was "more than probably going to go to Everton" after an update from vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
