Report: Manchester United rejects bid from Everton to sign Schneiderlin

Manchester United reportedly refused another bid for Morgan Schneiderlin.

According to the Guardian's Andy Hunter, United rejected a bid from Everton valued at around £19 million, as the Red Devils are believed to be trying to recoup as much as possible of the £24 million they paid for Schneiderlin in July 2015.

West Bromwich Albion is apparently also chasing Schendierlin, as the Baggies allegedly returned with a second offer of £20 million after United turned down an opening bid of £18 million. The English midfielder is reportedly Tony Pulis' No. 1 target for the January transfer window.

Schneiderlin holds only three appearances to his name in the 2016-17 Premier League season, all of which came as a substitute and totaling 11 minutes.

The link between the 27-year-old and Everton is understandable, as he played under Ronald Koeman at Southampton. Furthermore, the Toffees will temporarily be without Idrissa Gana Gueye, who was called up to Senegal's squad for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
