Everton remains hopeful of completing a double deal in January with Manchester United for Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay.

United paid approximately £25 million apiece in the summer of 2015 for the pair.

Schneiderlin worked at Southampton with the current Everton manager, Ronald Koeman, who sanctioned his sale to United.

United's preference would be to sell both players but Everton only wants to buy Schneiderlin and instead take on Depay as a loan.
