The midfielder moved to Everton in January of 2017 but now admits that he made the decision too early.
Schneiderlin made his move to Old Trafford when Louis van Gaal was in charge of the club but was completely out of favor when Jose Mourinho took over. Seeing his minutes getting severely reduced under the Portuguese manager, the former Strasbourg man asked for a move away from the club.
He eventually got his wish fulfilled with Everton, then managed by Ronald Koeman, making their move. The now 32-year-old told L’Equipe as quoted by Sport Witness:
The 32-year-old revealed that he still regrets asking Mourinho to sanction him a move to Goodison Park. The French international continued.
Schneiderlin revealed that he thought that he made the right decision at that point in time but now believes that staying put at Old Trafford would be been a smarter move. He also mentioned Ander Herrera, who once went through a similar situation at Manchester United. Schneiderlin said:
Was Schneiderlin right to leave Manchester United?
Schneiderlin made his move to Everton from Manchester United with a view of becoming a first-team regular at Goodison Park. However, his time with the Toffees was nothing special.
He could only make 88 appearances for the Merseyside club over a three-and-a-half-year period spell under multiple managers. The Frenchman has been somewhat able to revive his career since his move back to his homeland and is now one of the key players for Nice.
