Schneiderlin, who made 30 appearances for Ronald Koeman’s side last season, joined the Premier League club from Strasbourg in 2008 for £1.2m and has played over 250 games for them in League One, the Championship and the Premier League.

He look set to become the Red Devils’ fourth signing of the summer following the arrival of Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
