Konyaspor release Schneiderlin 10 days into contract

Ex-Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has seen his career take another downturn.

The French defensive midfielder, who is now 33, has been let go by a club within ten days of joining.

Schneiderlin has had his contract terminated by new side Konyaspor in Turkey on Thursday.

However, the issue appears to be one related to Schneiderlin's personal life, not necessarily his game.

A statement from Konyaspor read: "Professional football player Morgan Schneiderlin, whose transfer we have announced recently, conveyed to our management that he wanted to leave due to family reasons.

"As a result of the consultations and evaluations, our club approached Morgan Schneiderlin's request positively and terminated his contract by mutual agreement."
