United legend impressed by Schneiderlin

Cape Town - Manchester United legend Bryan Robson is backing Morgan Schneiderlin to succeed at the Red Devils. 

Schneiderlin joined the club from Southampton earlier in July and Robson has revealed that he has been impressed with the French midfielder's performances on the club's tour of North America.

“Bastian Schweinsteiger looks like a really top player,” Robson told the Manchester United Facebook page during a recent Facebook Q&A.

“With his career and the way he is, he is absolutely quality. But the one who has really stood out for me in the first two games is Morgan Schneiderlin.

“He has really impressed me in the way he moves, the ways that he presses people all around the pitch and his range of passes is also really good. He always wants the ball, he is regularly dropping in between the two centre-backs, and I’ve been really impressed by him.”

Schneiderlin has made three appearances during the tour. He scored against Club America on his debut and also featured strongly against San Jose Earthquakes and in the 3-1 win over Barcelona.
