Morgan Schneiderlin not expecting January exit

Morgan Schneiderlin has admitted that he expects to spend the rest of the 2014-15 Premier League season with Southampton.

The midfielder was linked with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur during the summer, while Manchester United are also thought to be keen to sign the French international.

However, the 25-year-old told Telefoot: "It's always difficult to leave in January. I think I'll finish the season at Southampton and we'll see what will happen next. I don't set my mind on these things anymore.

"What should happen will happen. Since this summer, I learned that you should never think that you're gone before you actually did."

Saints boss Ronald Koeman refused to sell Schneiderlin during the club's pre-season exodus of five players.
