Since signing from Southampton earlier in the Summer, French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has enjoyed a solid start to life at Manchester United.
Having proven his quality in the Premier League, Schneiderlin was seen as an exciting signing thanks to his responsible defensive positioning and passing ability, but he has now revealed who he wishes to emulate in the Manchester United midfield, and if he lives up to that standard then he'll have done very well for himself indeed.
Speaking to the French media, Morgan Schneiderlin revealed that the Manchester United player he wants to be like is Roy Keane. You didn't think it was Liam Miller did you?
I hope to become like Roy Keane because he was a legend. He has a different personality from me. I speak less on the pitch.
But I hope to have the same impact as him on the team. His battles with Patrick Vieira, when United and Arsenal were in competition, were memorable. I watched a documentary on the rivalry between the two, it was interesting.
Yes, it certainly was an interesting documentary that ITV produced and we'd highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
Schneiderlin has set himself high standards at Old Trafford, but having been an ever present for Louis Van Gaal in the early stages of this season it seems clear that he will get the chance to show what he can do in the Manchester United midfield.
We're unclear if Morgan wants to move to Celtic after Man United, and then pursue a managerial career with a host of Championship sides before becoming the Ireland assistant manager, but lets wait and see.
