Everton have opened talks with Manchester United over a double swoop for Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin, according to reports from Squawka.

Depay and Schneiderlin have struggled for regular first team football at United during the current campaign and it is widely expected that the duo could well be leaving Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

Everton have been credited with an interest in both Depay and Schneiderlin and now according to recent reports, claims have been made that the Toffees have already started negotiations with United over the prospective signing of the pair this winter.

Ronald Koeman is keen on giving fellow Dutchman Depay an opportunity at Goodison Park and is eager to reunite with his former Southampton star Schneiderlin on Merseyside.
