Manchester United transfer news: Van Gaal wants Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger
Man Utd could complete the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin next week but Louis van Gaal wants to bring Bastian Schweinsteiger in as well.
Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger could both join United
Manchester United are expected to press ahead with their efforts to sign Bastian Schweinsteiger even if Morgan Schneiderlin joins the club.
Schneiderlin, 25, could complete his transfer to United early next week, although The Reds are yet to agree a fee with Southampton.
France international Schneiderlin would fill the 'right-sided' midfield void for Louis van Gaal but the United manager is understood to want Bayern Munich warhorse Schweinsteiger as well.
Michael Carrick excelled in midfield under Van Gaal but missed chunks of last season through injury and will turn 34 next month.
Van Gaal signed Daley Blind as a defensive midfielder, however the Dutchman has prospered at left-back, while Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera excelled in attacking midfield roles.
