Morgan Schneiderlin (French pronunciation: [mɔʁgan ʃnedəʁlɛ̃]; born 8 November 1989) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for English club Everton and the France national team.
Schneiderlin began his career with Strasbourg, before moving to England to join Southampton in June 2008. He made 260 appearances across all competitions in seven seasons at the club, and was in the teams which earned consecutive promotions to reach the Premier League. He joined Manchester United for a potential £27 million fee in July 2015. After 18 months with Manchester United he joined Everton for a fee of £20 million, which could rise to £24 million in January 2017.
After representing France at all levels from Under-16 onwards, Schneiderlin made his senior international debut in 2014, and later that year played for France at the World Cup.
Born in Zellwiller, Alsace, Schneiderlin started playing football with his friends at the SR Zellwiller football ground, but began his career later with the major regional club RC Strasbourg's youth ranks in 1995, after members of his family brought him to one of the club's scouting sessions when he was five years old. After 10 years moving through the youth ranks, he signed his first professional contract with the club in 2005 and debuted for the B-team later that year. In 2006, he made his professional debut with the senior side and would go on to make four more appearances for the club, before being sold following the club's relegation during the 2007–08 Ligue 1 season.
Schneiderlin moved from Strasbourg to Championship side Southampton on 27 June 2008, having signed a four-year contract in a deal that could rise to €1.5 million (£1.2 million). He joined Southampton despite receiving an offer from local rivals Portsmouth, then a Premier League team. Schneiderlin made his debut in a 2–1 defeat away to Cardiff City on 9 August 2008.
