5 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Morgan Schneiderlin

4. But, His Best Position Is Defensive Midfield

Despite scoring five goals last season the midfielder is best suited to a more defensive central role and is more comfortable tackling than creating chances. His ball interception, tackling and aerial duels are the key strengths to his game as well as his accurate passing of which he recorded a 89% completion figure last season on WhoScored.com. He has also made more tackles in the last three Premier League seasons than any other player. Ronald Koeman told The Guardian: €œEverybody knows the qualities of the player and, if they are looking at the position where he plays with us, then that€™s the best for him. He is still a young player, an international player already, and he can develop himself even more than he did over the last few years at Southampton.€ An honest assessment of a player who he will be sad to see leaving St Mary's this summer.
