Arsenal fans are keen to sign Morgan Schneiderlin after Manchester United made a move for Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Manchester United today confirmed on their official website that they have agreed to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The German international, who helped win the World Cup a year ago, is set to reunite with his former Bayern boss Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford after a fee was agreed between the two clubs.
The 30-year-old will boost United’s midfield, but brings the Red Devils’ pursuit of Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin in to some doubt.
A report from the Manchester Evening News suggests that United remain interested in the Frenchman despite signing Schweinsteiger – but that hasn’t stopped Arsenal fans from touting the Southampton star with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Manager Arsene Wenger is in dire need of a defensive midfield this summer, and ESPN recently reported that the Gunners have a strong interest in signing Schneiderlin this summer.
Arsenal fans took to Twitter after United’s announcement regarding Schweinsteiger, with many urging Wenger to swoop for Schneiderlin given that United could relax their interest in the player.
Here are some of the reactions from Arsenal fans regarding a possible move for Schneiderlin this summer.
