The France international is out of favour at Old Trafford and a January move would make sense, even if the Red Devils are forced to take a hit on a player they paid £24m for in 2015. ADVERTISEMENTSchneiderlin has found himself behind the likes of record signing Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera under Jose Mourinho, while Marouane Fellaini and Bastian Schweinsteiger also appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order. At 27 years of age he needs to find regular football and it could be that he is reunited with former Southampton boss Ronald Koeman at Goodison Park in the new year, or he decides to head for The Hawthorns.
