Morgan Schneiderlin could be on the verge of exiting Manchester United as Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur is showing an interest in the midfielder, according to reports.

Pochettino has experience working with the 26-year-old having been manager at Southampton when the Frenchman was brought to the Premier League.

Now he wants to sign him once again as Spurs looks to make additions to the Argentine's squad before the transfer window closes on Wednesday night.

According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham has shown interest but is yet to receive any positive news from the club managed by Jose Mourinho.

Schneiderlin has, however, only made two appearances for Mourinho this season, with both coming from the substitutes' bench.

He has only been at Old Trafford for one season after arriving in July 2015 for a fee of around £25 million ($32.8 million).
