The Frenchman joined United from Southampton for £25m just 18 months ago but has struggled for fitness and form.
Yesterday, SunSport reported how the French midfielder 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.

Jose Mourinho is willing to sell the midfielder in the January window, with Marseille, West Brom and Everton all interested. But it appears the Toffees have stolen a march and will add to their midfield ranks.
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."
