Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin's role at Old Trafford has been minimal at best this season -with this in mind, it looks like the Frenchman's spell at Old Trafford is coming to an end.
Schneiderlin has played just five minutes of Premier League footballthis term; he's been at the club for twelve months, but clearly isn't in Jose's plans.Ander Herrera has settled into the holding midfield role alongside Marouane Fellaini, and the continued preference for the Belgian ahead of himmust frustrate Schneiderlin, not to mention Michael Carrick.

Morgan's future is very uncertain at the club. He's barely played a game this season," a United insider allegedly commented to theSun.
He has played against Fenerbahce and Northampton, but injuries, among other things have stopped his progress."
He's clearly very talented, but things haven't really worked out for him since Jose came in.�
Louis van Gaal signed Schneiderlin in the 2015 summer window from Southampton for £24m, despite interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. The rejected sides have since strengthened with alternative options in that area.
Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin should be starting, and Fellaini should join Rooney, forever chained in Old Trafford's deepest dungeons.
The Frenchman's recent niggling injuries have been a factor in his lack of playing time as well, though he did play thirty times under Van Gaal. United could only claim a Europa League place in the 2015/16 season, whereas Arsenal and Tottenham qualified for the Champions League.
The Red Devils were routed 4-0 by Chelsea on Sunday with Fellaini offering a poor performance, yet Schneiderlin was stuck on the bench alongside Carrick. That, if anything, shows just how far the Frenchman has fallen in the eyes of Jose Mourinho.
