Schneiderlin: A successor to Keane?
Louis van Gaal is convinced Morgan Schneiderlin has ended Manchester United's search for a world class midfield enforcer.The Dutchman expects the French international to make an immediate impact following his £24m move from Southampton.
If he is right, it could finally see United fill the void left by Roy Keane’s departure a decade ago.
The Irishman’s shoes have never truly been filled, with Owen Hargreaves, Darren Fletcher and Anderson all failing to match his influence.
“Morgan is a player from the Premier League so he can cope with the Premier League,” he said.
“Our selection was not in balance and I have already mentioned that I want to make the balance with midfielders, so you could expect that I shall buy two holding midfielders.
“And Morgan Schneiderlin is the type that I think can play in our system and in our philosophy.
“Manchester United only buy players who can make a contribution for that.
“We are not buying just for buying.”
