# Palace eyeing Schneiderlin deal

Crystal Palace are eyeing up a move for Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, according to [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-uniteds-morgan-schneiderlin-transfer-9203371).

The report says that Palace are set to launch a January move for the French midfielder as they look to bolster their midfield options.

Questions are being asked of their side after losing 3-2 to Burnley at the weekend, with the prospect of signing Schneiderlin a clear sign of intent from the London-based side.

Schneiderlin has fallen out of favour at United this season. Jose Mourinho has come in preferred a midfield pairing of Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba – leaving Schneiderlin to play the bench role.

The 26-year-old has played just five minutes of Premier League football this season. This means a move to Palace with regular game-time could be an alluring prospect for the midfielder.

Schneiderlin was a star for Southampton in the Premier League during his time on the South Coast but has never really hit his best form whilst at United.
