Manchester United are believed to be keenly interested in Morgan Schneiderlin.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Louis van Gaal is eyeing a summer move for the French midfielder who is looking to leave Southampton.

It is believed that van Gaal sees Schneiderlin, 25, as the long-term successor to Michael Carrick and has made him his primary defensive midfield target.

Schneiderlin, who has been with the Saints since 2008 is also on the radar of both Arsenal and Tottenham.
