Not really good at anything, way too limited to be a United midfielder. I just hope we can recoup some of the £25M based on his So'ton form.
TBF, we werent under the cosh against Arsenal. I think it was a mistake bringing him on in that game cos we werent under pressure anyway and kinda gave it up by taking off Mata.That didn't work against Arsenal this season.
We were under the cosh against Chelsea last season, we brought him on to defend the 1-0 lead but at the end we conceded. And when we conceded the goals against Chelsea and Arsenal, Schneiderlin was jogging and watching only and also marked no one. If he's only suitable for such a task, £100k per week will be completely waste of money.TBF, we werent under the cosh against Arsenal.

IF that makes sense.
We all expected him to play as the DM in LVG's 433, that could have worked nicely. Never really had a chance to play that formation with him regularly as a DM though. Was all a bit strange.At the time I thought he was a decent signing but looking back it was a daft signing; He's a good player but just not wanted LVG or Mourhino needed, he'd be perfect for Everton given the way they play.
I only see him leaving in January if we buy a replacement or our German hangs around until the summer as it would leave us a bit light in midfield.
I assumed he'd be first choice too but I hadn't seen a lot of him at Soton and have been a bit disappointed as I thought he was more talented.

He isn't a DM, he is more a "all action" player, so purchasing him for a role that he isn't able to fill was surprising. He could be a CM for Simeone or Allegri.We all expected him to play as the DM in LVG's 433, that could have worked nicely.

Don't know why people expected him to be good signing if he has the chance to play DM in 433 when at his best season he was box to box and Southampton actually played 4231.We all expected him to play as the DM in LVG's 433, that could have worked nicely.

Yep, but that was often how he was viewed coming into our midfield. Most people expected Schneiderlin/Schweinsteiger/Herrera, I know he's played DM for France before also.He isn't a DM, he is more a "all action" player, so purchasing him for a role that he isn't able to fill was surprising.

He played one game as a DM for France.Yep, but that was often how he was viewed coming into our midfield. Most people expected Schneiderlin/Schweinsteiger/Herrera, I know he's played DM for France before also.
I guess he just isn't as good at that position.
And one of the rare times that those 3 started together Liverpool couldn't get the ball off us at Old Trafford last season. And that's the only time I remember that line up.Yep, but that was often how he was viewed coming into our midfield.

Why? I don't see the point clinging on and hoping so why waste time giving him 90 meaningless minutes.I hope he gets 90 mins on Thursday
Still baffles me he hasn't played enough for Mourinho yet. Wonder what he's doing wrong in training to have Fellaini ahead of him.Why? I don't see the point clinging on and hoping so why waste time giving him 90 meaningless minutes.
Play players who deserve to play or who fit the system and unfortunately for Morgan he isn't one of them.
He's barely been given a chance so how you say he doesn't deserve to play? I hope he plays the full 90 and gives Mourinho something to think about. Im about tired of seeing Fellaini get minutes ahead of him and SchweinsteigerWhy? I don't see the point clinging on and hoping so why waste time giving him 90 meaningless minutes.

When he gets his chance he has to take it. But he didnt take it when he had his chance played as a starter in Europa League against Feyenoord and Fenebache. He didn't even take his chance when he came on from the bench against Arsenal either, and end up as a ball watcher when Giroud scored. At least Fellaini took his chance at the start of season.He's barely been given a chance so how you say he doesn't deserve to play?

Fellaini had a run of games, something he has been given a bunch of times in his United career. Schneiderlin had that one time, sort of, at the start of last season. We still swapped our midfield about a lot with rotation but he was still involved. And those were his best performances so farWhen he gets his chance he has to take it.

Fellaini had run of games because he did the job that are asked by the manager. The haters are just making him a scapegoat because he has connection with Moyes and not United quality with a poor hairstyle.Fellaini had a run of games, something he has been given a bunch of times in his United career.

To be fair this kind of post was written time and time again about Fletcher. Until he found his use and suddenly the fans loved him.Why do we have such painfully limited central midfielders. Fellaini only gets in the team cos he can head the ball, while Schneidetrlin's only real attribute is that he can run around a bit.
For Manchester United midfielders to be unable to pass the ball well is absolutely criminal.
Think they will both end up at Everton in January to be honest. Schneiderlin is an upgrade on McCarthy, and Bolasie is out for the season.Not in the squad for Zorya tie along with Memphis apparently so looks like that's the end of him here realistically.
