Schneiderlin and Depay to Everton?

Neither France anchorman Schneiderlin, 27, nor 22-year-old Netherlands winger Memphis have started a Premier League game under new Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho this term.

Both players were recruited the summer before last for a reported combined £50m, but ‘the Special One’ is willing to let the pair leave Old Trafford for Goodison Park this January.

This comes despite Everton trailing Man Utd by a single point and place prior to the Red Devils’ midweek trip to Crystal Palace.

Bidding to replace Barry?

Current Toffees boss Ronald Koeman worked with Schneiderlin at Southampton, where coach and player launched their respective Premier League careers.
