Southampton have reportedly accepted a £20million transfer offer from Manchester United for Morgan Schneiderlin.

The Saints will reluctantly allow the Frenchman to move on this summer as he eyes Champions League football.

The fee offered by United will rise to £25m dependent on the success of the France international at Old Trafford.

His wages will be doubled from the £60,000-a-week offered by Southampton to £120,000-a-week.


Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were believed to be interested in signing the player but United have come out on top, according to the Star.
