Jose Mourinho says he is both sad and happy to lose the midfielder

Schneiderlin, 27, has featured just eight times for Jose Mourinho this season.

He has only played in three Premier League matches – all from the bench – with his last coming on November 19.

The midfielder, who was bought by Louis van Gaal for £25million in July 2015, hasn’t even appeared on the bench since November 30 and last started a game in the Europa League defeat to Fenerbahce on November 3.

He was hauled off at half-time in that game.

Mourinho expressed his sadness at losing the midfielder.

 

Speaking after United's 2-0 win over Hull, he said: "Ed Woodward informed me that the situation is close.

Morgan is more than probably going to Everton.

"I am sad and happy, sad because I like him and he could be an option for us, happy because this is what he wants, to play every game and be important in the team."
