Man United outcast Morgan Schneiderlin trains alone in a park as Everton, Marseille and West Brom track £24m midfielder
United reluctant to sell Frenchman to Everton - as they don't want to strengthen a rival
MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN trained alone in a PARK as he moves closer to an exit from Manchester United.
The French midfielder posted a video on social media of him going through training drills.
Schneiderlin, 27, has not started a Premier League game – playing just 15 total minutes – for Manchester United this season and made just seven appearances in all competitions and not played since November 19.
In the video, Schneiderlin can be seen training with Fabien Richard, a trainer to the stars who has worked with a number of French and French-speaking players, including Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez, Jordan and Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis
Jose Mourinho is willing to sell the midfielder in the January window, with Marseille, West Brom and Everton all interested.
West Brom have already had a £13million bid rejected and Everton a £19m bid rejected.
United are thought to be holding out for somewhere closer to £24m.
Schneiderlin would prefer a move to Everton – but SunSport revealed that Mourinho would prefer not to sell Schneiderlin to the club, as he sees the Toffees as a rival he does not want to strengthen.
The Portuguese would rather sell Schneiderlin to a foreign club.
Mourinho confirmed that he would not stand in the way of the Frenchman leaving, after he handed in a transfer request.
He said: “Great professional.
“Fantastic boy, very honest, very open and he opened his heart a couple of times and my answer is simple: if he’s playing regular with me I have the right to say no way, if he’s not playing regular I have no right to tell a player that if he wants to be happy you’re going nowhere.
“So my answer was if the offer is right and our board thinks the offer is a good offer in relation to a very good player like Morgan I would not stop him to go.”
