Morgan Schneiderlin

Only positive is it rubs more salt into Liverpool's wounds.

Agh why can't Everton or Spurs be decent enough to challenge both historical comicals.

He's a tidy player and improves them but their likely starting midfield isn't something us chelsea or even arsenal will fear. It's competent and little more. Schneiderlin would of been a good squad player for us, he'll be an average key player for United. I obviously don't wish them to improve in any way shape or form but we have to accept they will and it could of been a lot worse than them lining up with a schweinsteiger that has imo "done a Torres" after his injuries and Schneiderlin.

Schneiderlin imo is at least as good as Fernandinho. Not quite as good as Carrick (at least not in the distribution side of the game), but they can't rely on Carrick to be fully fit which makes Schneiderlin a good acquisition. From what I've seen Schweinsteiger is still an excellent midfielder as well.

Another good signing for United.

how will your manager use him though? the pregnant pig will play in midfield surely.

Why don't these slimy fuckers just sign up and declare their allegiance? sad,pathetic rag twats.

How very apt a pregnant pig playing in the pig sty, from one rag team to another he can wallow in the shite that stands on the stretford end. It does not seem appropriate to me that any City fan calls him Bastian.

This 100%

Some on here have been talking up this guy as some kind of worldbeater. He's a nice solid player & that's it. If he was as good as some people say, then City would actually have been all over him long ago, as would Chelsea & Arsenal, at that kind of price. They're not, because he isn't that special, he's a nice solid player & nothing more.

I think both he & perhaps Pigsticker could be very good signings for Utd & make them very tough to play against in centre mid. But you can only play 11, & it means an injury prone ageing player & a not particularly inspiring one, taking up two spots. Then their star man, Felaini needs a place. Rooney, four. Two places left for creativity, or they have to start leaving out centre mids . As soon as you take out one of those 3 c mids, then you start asking the question of 'legs' in there. Neither Schneiderlin or Pigfarmer have that.

So far the Utd squad is starting to look more Peter Reid than Pep Guardiola. 'Difficult to beat' but not special. If it works.

I'd rather face Scheiderlin than Van Persie any day of the week.
