Everton are reportedly keen on the Manchester United duo.
Manchester United pair Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay are free to join Everton in January, according to the Daily Mail.
The Blues are expected to be busy in the winter transfer window with manager Ronald Koeman thought to be keen to add to his squad.
Two players they have subsequently been linked to are Depay and Schneiderlin, who are out of favour at Old Trafford.
The duo has only managed 31 minutes of Premier League football between them this season and are seemingly not in Jose Mourinho’s plans.
However, it had been feared that the United boss would not sanction a departure for either, especially to a team who are challenging for the same place in the table as his team.
That fear appears to have been unfounded, though, with the Daily Mail reporting that both are free to move to Merseyside should they wish to do so.
That will come as a huge boost to Koeman, who reportedly wants Schneiderlin permanently and Depay on loan until the end of the season.
His Everton team started the season strongly but have tailed away over the last couple of months and these two signings could help to turn things around in the second half of the campaign.
