Morgan Schneiderlin- Would've struggled

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer played alongside Roy Keane, who many consider as one of the greatest midfielders of the Premier League era.

Now imagine the Norwegian managing Morgan Scheniderlin who some preposterous fans tipped as the long-awaited heir to Keane at Manchester United. Didn't sound convincing then, doesn't seem convincing now!

Schneiderlin was bought by Louis Van Gaal as the Dutchman thought of the Frenchman as a midfield general who would rule the park from the middle for Manchester United

Unfortunately for Schneiderlin and for Manchester United, things went down hill pretty quickly as Morgan had too little to offer as a United player.

Manchester United midfielders have been known to be a class apart courtesy of their creative vision and proficiency in churning out moments of magic- Some things Morgan Schneiderlin evidently lacked.

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has shown that he expects a lot from his midfielders and now that Schneiderlin has left United for good, it seems that the Frenchman made a right choice as breaking into the side under the Norwegian would've been extremely difficult for the former Southampton man.
