Morgan Schneiderlin Officially Completes Transfer to Manchester United | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Schneiderlin's arrival came hot on the heels of United's capture of Bastian Schweinsteiger, and the two additions should significantly boost their midfield ahead of the new season.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is already scouring the market for a replacement, according to a July 7 report from Jamie Jackson of the Guardian.

Schneiderlin's exit seemed inevitable ever since Sami Mokbel of MailOnline revealed on June 24 the 25-year-old has been given the all clear to leave.

United needed replenishment at the base of their midfield, and Schneiderlin, a proven, top-quality operator in the Premier League, is a tremendous acquisition for the Red Devils.

Not only is the Frenchman capable on the ball, but he also boasts sharp defensive instincts and an acute understanding of the game.

Schneiderlin was central to Southampton’s stunning season in 2014-15, and his assured influence will immediately enrich Louis van Gaal's options.
