He join Southampton in June 2008. He made 260 appearances across all competitions in seven seasons at the club, and was in the team which earned consecutive promotions to reach the Premier League. Learning his trade in the English lower divisions has given Schneiderlin a ruthlessness that will be refreshing to see in Manchester United's midfield. Despite throwing a slight Twitter tantrum after he saw most of his teammates shipped out to Liverpool last summer, Morgan returned to training a day later and remained professional until the end of the season. Now he has been given his chance to step up to a higher level and Man United is a great club to carry him through the transition like Southampton have done for the past seven years.
