#4 Morgan Schneiderlin
Position: Midfielder
Age: 27
Team: Manchester United
Where did it all go wrong for Morgan Schneiderlin? Once consistently brought up as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, he hardly got a look in under Louis Van Gaal last season. Any hopes for change after Mourinho’s appointment seem to have gone out the window as well, with the French midfielder having played in only 2 Premier League games this season.
With United’s form this season patchy at best, they could have used Schneiderlin’s box-to-box expertise to construct a formidable partnership with world record signing Paul Pogba. But it seems as though his Old Trafford career has ended before it even began with a move to Everton mooted in the January transfer window.
Even though Schneiderlin has regressed since his move to Old Trafford, it’s easy to forget how good he was during his time at Southampton, regularly making it into the French national team.
Shoehorned into an awkward defensive midfield role at Manchester United, it’s no surprise that we haven’t seen the best of him.
One thing that is sure is that he’s definitely too good to be on any bench and hopefully a reunion with former manager Ronald Koeman at Everton can rekindle the spark.
