MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN HAS MEDICAL WITH MANCHESTER UNITED AS MIDFIELDER EDGES CLOSER TO SOUTHAMPTON EXIT DOOR

Manchester United are poised to complete a triple £52million transfer swoop with the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton. 

United have moved swiftly following the £13m signing of Matteo Darmian and £14m purchase of Bastian Schweinsteiger by adding £25m-rated France international Schneiderlin as they re-shape their squad ahead of their summer tour to USA.

United's party set off on Monday but were completing medicals for Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger on Sunday night after agreeing terms with Southampton for the former.

United had a bid thought to be around £20m rejected earlier in July by Southampton, although it was dismissed by manager Ronald Koeman as 'not serious'.

Manager Louis van Gaal also remains intent on signing Sergio Ramos too from Real Madrid in the deal that takes David de Gea in the opposite direction.
