Schneiderlin To Earn £120k A Week At Old Trafford
The media are reporting that should Morgan Schneiderlin complete his proposed move to Old Trafford then he will be a very rich man.
Any Saints supporter who wondered why Morgan Schneiderlin was so keen to leave St Mary's would have had their questions answered in the media with many outlets reporting that the Frenchman is about to sign a £120k a week deal at Old Trafford.
This is perhaps 3 times the amount that he could hope to earn at Saints and even if he was made the club's highest earner then he would probably be on not much more than half of what United seem willing to offer him.
But who can blame him for wanting to move for money, in fairness to Schneiderlin he has served Saints well in the 7 seasons he has been at St Mary's, he more than anyone with perhaps the exception of Adam Lallana in the past 12 months or so deserves a move for services rendered.
In modern day football it is rare that a player stays at a Premier league club very long, Schneiderlin was loyal when we were relegated to League One and has played his part in our revival, yes last summer he had a brief throwing of the toys, but he stayed and got his head down and put in another good season, now is the time that he gets his just rewards for those 7 seasons hard work and those rewards are that he has the chance to test himself in the Champions League and get paid handsomely for doing so.
So good luck Morgan Schneiderlin if your destination is Old Trafford or the Emirates, however if you end up at White hart lane i reserve the right to rescind this eulogy.
