Cowardly performance.
I'd get rid in the Summer. Not good enough

Agree. He gave one of the best destroying display vs City away for a United player in recent years. No way he is #6 or can be trained to pass, control game like Carrick for this role. He should be instructed to get less of the ball and do more simple passes.I think he'd be great under Mourinho.
Why he is playing as a #6 is beyond me, he isn't that sort of player at all.
It was likely a straight choice between him and Kante and obviously Kante got the nod. We should feel lucky both him, Herrera and Carrick if he gets his contract renewed will be refreshed and ready for the start of next season.Hasn't made the France squad for Euro 2016. Before he signed for us he was a sho in. I know some here think he's crap, but for me he's one of the best central midfielders in the league and has suffered from playing for a team that's in a tailspin. Like most of our players this season.
He has had a couple of games for us where he's looked like the player he was at Southampton so I'm not ready to give up on him yet.Hasn't made the France squad for Euro 2016.

Tailspin? We're not fecking Everton. We're still (somehow) in the hunt for top 4 for God's sake. The lad's got something about him but atm it seems he's a bit of a bottler. And even if he weren't he's not a world class talent. Shame we didn't get Sanches to compete with him next year.Hasn't made the France squad for Euro 2016. Before he signed for us he was a sho in.

Couple of posters above seem to be!I don't think anyone is ready to give up on him, he definitely deserves more time to prove himself here, but I am not surprised he hasn't made the French team based on what I've seen this season.
Think he mentioned being pretty unimpressed with his first season performance recently.
Internet gonna internet.Couple of posters above seem to be!
He should play the same role Casemiro plays in RM or Matic does in Chelsea if you want. A sort of player who destroys the opponents play then pass the ball simple to a more creative midfielder, in RMs case that is Kroos and Modric - a bit more quality then our midfielders...I say this after virtually all games he plays.
What did he actually do. I never realise if he is on the pitch or not....which is damning considering that he is a central midfielder.
Exactly. His position against West Ham seemed as if LVG wanted him to perform like Kroos / Modric. That's not his game.He should play the same role Casemiro plays in RM or Matic does in Chelsea if you want.

Agreed with all of this. Also will add that I think he'd make a very, very good CB (as I think Pep would have moved him if he came here) in the way Mascherano has become. His passing would actually be decent in that sort of role since he can hit a long ball and his hiding in possession would not matter at CB like it does in midfield.Mourinho will appreciate his skill set and use him much better.
I think he is still ultimately a squad player for a top club. His best role is an energetic 8 paired next to a 6 that can pass well and for a club doing a lot of high pressing. Mourinho will certainly have a use for that kind of player, particularly in tough games in which he wants to be very secure in midfield and play mainly on the break. But Schneiderlin is a bit useless in matches against weak teams, in which a club like United will always be on the front foot, trying to break down packed defenses. You need more offense out of your 8 in that sort of game and you also want a 6 with better passing range.
So I see him as a very useful squad player under Mourinho who will start sometimes in midfield depending on matchups, often come in as a substitute in midfield to help close out games, and that will provide backup cover for the starting DM. Nothing wrong with that. Every great team needs those kind of players.
Morgan at CB? Heavens no, I sincerely hope not.Agreed with all of this.

Don't know whether I should be happy or annoyed by the news. Had discussion with another poster who cited Schneiderlin exclusion in France squad as a sign of bad quality . Look like that kind of argument can not stand anymore. However, I personally want as many of our players as possible, who may see little involvement to stay home and have full pre season.Tweet
