2 MF signings back to back..WTF!!!! i am  .this is amazing... and we haven't blown cash or gone OTT. that's the adidas sponsorship money for this year gone  or next year, if ADM came out of this years Perhaps mate, but my point was more in tune to what some of the players transfer fee have been quoted or paid up by Rents, Berties and Scum. Besides that's sorted out an area we have cried for years now , since Moscow its been neglected |

FROM LEAGUE ONE TO UNITED... THE RISE OF NEW REDS MIDFIELDER MORGAN SCHNEIDERLINThe rise of Morgan Schneiderlin has been both meteoric and impressive since he moved from his native France to join Southampton in 2008.
The Frenchman was spotted by the Saints after moving up through the ranks at his local club, RC Strasbourg, where he had made five first-team appearances before making the switch across the Channel. At just 18, the midfielder was already showing maturity beyond his years. Fans in England got a first glimpse of Schneiderlin during his time with France's Under-18s, after he featured in a friendly at Hartlepool's Victoria Park ground in September 2006. He had also been capped at Under-16 and Under-17 level, and would later go on to play for the Under-19s too. Schneiderlin made his Southampton debut against Cardiff City in August 2008, but his first season at St Mary's would end in disappointment, as the club was relegated to League One. Despite speculation that a drop to the third tier would force him away from the club, Schneiderlin opted to aid the promotion effort. He scored his first goal for the club in April 2010, as the Saints beat Bristol Rovers 5-1 away, in one of his 37 appearances during the 2009/10 campaign. Now established as a regular in the Southampton side, Schneiderlin helped the club climb out of League One at the end of 2010/11 and the Frenchman really came to the fore in the subsequent Championship campaign of 2011/12. A superb season for the midfielder resulted in a second successive promotion for the Saints, this time to the Barclays Premier League. Schneiderlin now had the chance to test himself in the top flight, and he soon went from strength to strength. Although he had previously scored for Southampton away from home, his first goal at St Mary's came in August 2012 - against United. The Reds had the last laugh in a memorable encounter, with Robin van Persie's hat-trick securing a hard-earned 3-2 win. Schneiderlin went on to miss just two league games as Southampton finished in 14th place, and was widely praised after topping the statistics charts for interceptions and tackles during the 2012/13 campaign. Little wonder he was named Player of the Year by Southampton's fans and by his teammates. In the following season, 2013/14, Schneiderlin made 36 appearances as his club finished ninth and then earned his first senior cap for France when head coach Didier Deschamps selected him for a goalless draw against Jamaica in June. In the ensuing World Cup in Brazil, he made one appearance - in another 0-0 draw, this time against Ecuador, when future United teammate Antonio Valencia was sent off. Schneiderlin continued his fine form on his return to club action in 2014/15 and made a total of 25 appearances to help Southampton qualify for the Europa League in seventh place. The Frenchman will now hope to play in the Champions League instead, with United, and add yet another layer of experience to his incredible story after becoming Louis van Gaal's fourth signing of summer 2015.www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2015/Jul/Profile-of-new-Manchester-United-signing-Morgan-Schneiderlin.aspx

Schneiderlin. Completely agree the latest generation of Frenchmen seems complete tossers. Notable exceptions excluded, of course. Schneiderlin. Completely agree the latest generation of Frenchmen seems complete tossers. Notable exceptions excluded, of course. He's a really good player, impressed every time I've seen him. If, god forbid, anything were to happen to the Strootman deal, we'd do a lot worse thsn look at this lad. Would just like to point out now this has actually, nigh-unbelievably, happened, that Stew and I have been banging the Schneiderlin drum for - at least - Two. Damn. Years. YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!  |

Seems to me that Stewart and you do a fair to middling job of banging the United Drum (as well as the occasional head of trolls and miscreants ) |

MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN'S STATS FOR SOUTHAMPTON VS MANCHESTER UNITED
On a cold January evening when Southampton intensified their chase for European competition by securing a first win over Manchester United at Old Trafford since 1988, Morgan Schneiderlin’s contribution in a number of areas perhaps convinced Louis van Gaal he was a man to pursue this summer.
Flanked by Steven Davis and Victor Wanyama in the centre of the Saints’ midfield, the France international combined a steely presence with impressive vision as the visitors claimed a 1-0 victory in last season's encounter, courtesy of Dusan Tadic’s second-half strike. United’s new signing was relentless in his movement throughout the game, covering more distance on the pitch than any of his new team-mates (12.06km) while making more sprints than any of the Reds (60). And he had only one equal in the interceptions department – Daley Blind also won possession for his side six times. Furthermore, Schneiderlin managed the commendable feat of outdoing any of his opponents for passing accuracy during the game (94.9%), beating off competition from Spanish pair Juan Mata and Ander Herrera while narrowly edging Luke Shaw (93.4%). A fine mix of solidity and creativity, Schneiderlin’s range of qualities shone at Old Trafford that night, his midfield maturity sharpened through years of helping push Southampton to the next level clear for all to see. Maybe 11 January 2015 was the day the 25-year-old elevated his name towards the top of van Gaal’s list of transfer targets? Here’s to more of the same from the Frenchman as a Red in 2015/16. www.manutd.com/en/New-Signings-2015-16/News-and-Features/2015/Jul/Morgan-Schneiderlin-stats-for-Southampton-vs-Manchester-United.aspx |

Story telling of professionalism, loyalty and a complete and utter dedication to being the best in the game.This is a player that I do believe fans will be cheering for at his testimonial as befits a United legend \0/ |

And another flexible player who can either play in the #6 role or the #8 spot. He reminds me a bit of Scholes in his passing, and also possessing the skill set in being the enforcer in front of the backline. How great to finally say that we have a passing and tackling machine, and at what 25 years old....ecstatic about the arrival of Schneiderlin, well done Woody!

How great to finally say that we have a passing and tackling machine, and at what 25 years old....ecstatic about the arrival of Schneiderlin, well done Woody! His work ethic is proven by what he has accomplished in a short time playing. Playing alongside Schweinsteiger his learning curve is going to go up and up, and for Basti to have a player like Morgan along side of him will extend his career because he will have someone who will play the game like he does. I know that things have to be "proven" on the pitch, but I've no freekin doubt about how good those two will be playing side by side, and soon, neither will the rest of the Premier League. FOOK YOU JOSEY, you bus parking muppet! |

The fact that United have not won anything of note since Sir Alex Ferguson left has had no impact on how Schneiderlin views his new club.
'Manchester United is Manchester United, when you look at the badge, the stadium, it's the biggest club in the world,' he said.
---
What I like about all our signings so far is that they are genuinely happy to be here, they view the club in the same light we all do.

SCHNEIDERLIN PUTS LIVERPOOL PALS ON HOLD
Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is looking forward to meeting some of his former Southampton colleagues in today's clash with Liverpool but insists their friendship will be forgotten for 90 minutes.
The Merseysiders' squad contains Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana, all of whom played with United's Schneiderlin and Luke Shaw when they were in the Saints' ranks. "It'll be nice to see them off the pitch after the game, they are friends and we had good times together," said Schneiderlin. "On the pitch, like in any game, they will be our enemies. We'll speak and have a laugh afterwards but, before and during the game, there are no friends." As he eagerly anticipates his first experience of one of world football's most hotly-contested fixtures, Schneiderlin believes he will not be taken aback by the intensity of the occasion. "I know what to expect," he said. "I did watch the games a lot of times on TV so I know how big the game is. I know the motivation and the desire that Manchester United and Liverpool always put into these kind of games. I can't wait for it. It's why we play football, for these kind of games, and I like to play with pressure." www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2015/Sep/morgan-schneiderlin-casts-lovren-lallana-clyne-friendships-aside-for-manchester-united-v-liverpool.aspx |

Morgan for me, was THE ONE we had to get in this summer. Everything else is the cherry on top of the icing. He to me is similar to what Matic has brought for Chelscum. And the way he has seamlessly strolled into the squad without as much as a hiccup, shows how polished that Schneiderlin is at 25 years old...two devil horns up on this...
