Manchester United transfer news: Everton have £19million bid rejected for Morgan Schneiderlin with West Brom ready to make improved offer

Flop midfielder has been told he is free to leave this month - but only if United recoup the £24m they paid for him

MANCHESTER UNITED have rejected a £19million offer from Everton for Morgan Schneiderlin – as West Brom prepare to make an improved offer.

Toffees manager Ronald Koeman – who worked with Schneiderlin at Saints – has made the star his primary target this transfer window.
Goodison chiefs are confident of securing a deal and Merseyside is believed to be the player’s preferred destination.
But they are reluctant to meet United’s valuation for a player who has seen just 11 minutes of action in the Premier League so far this season.

The Baggies had a £13 million bid turned down last month are understood to be preparing a more substantial offer.
Cash-rich Italian giants Inter Milan are also eyeing a bid.
Should any side have an offer accepted they will then have to contend with Schneiderlin’s £115k-a-week United salary.
But the Prem pair are willing to make the France international their highest-paid player if they can seal a deal.

Schneiderlin has made just 32 appearances and scored one goal for United over the past 18-months, mostly as a substitute.
He spent seven years with Southampton and helped them earn successive promotions from League One to the Premier League.
Everton are also keen on Schneiderlin’s team-mate Memphis Depay who has also flopped at United since joining for £25m in 2015.
