Everton are set to finally sign Morgan Schneiderlin after agreeing a £22million deal with Manchester United.

Schneiderlin is expected to complete his protracted move to Everton in the next 48 hours and join up again with Ronald Koeman, bringing an end to his unhappy spell at Old Trafford.

"Before the match [against Hull City] Mr Woodward told me almost there, so I’m sad, I’m happy," said Jose Mourinho, United manager.

"Sad because I like him, sad because he could be an option for us in a long season. I’m happy because this is what he wants, wants to play every game, he wants to be an important player in the team, so if this is what he wants I’m happy for a good professional that I can only so good things about."
