Manchester United are believed to be a step closer to securing Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin for £24million.

According to mirror.co.uk, Schneiderlin, who also received interest from Arsenal and Tottenham, could be on the move to Old Trafford within the next week.

Schneiderlin was quoted on Wednesday as saying he was hopeful his future could be resolved in the 'coming days', with United reportedly offering a four-year deal. "Talks are ongoing and should be completed in the coming days. I hope it will all be concluded before pre-season begins next week," he said.
