Mourinho offers to move United malcontents

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said he will listen to offers for unhappy players like Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin in next month's transfer window.

Dutch winger Depay and French midfielder Schneiderlin, both signed in 2015 by Louis van Gaal, have been the biggest losers of Mourinho's first half-season in charge at Old Trafford.

Mourinho said he would not stand in either players' way if they asked to leave.

"I am always open to listen to offers for every player," Mourinho said ahead of his side's trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday.

"More than listen to offers, I am always ready to listen to the players themselves.

"So any player who knocks on my door and is not happy and wants to move, when the offers are correct, I will never stop a player from leaving, even if it is to a rival.

"When Juan Mata left Chelsea to come to Manchester United (in January 2014), no problem at all. In my mentality, no problem at all. I am always open."

Schneiderlin, who signed from Southampton for a reported $31.7 million, is yet to start a league game this season.

The 27-year-old has played only 86 minutes of domestic first-team soccer - 73 of which came in a League Cup tie against third-tier Northampton Town.

Depay, bought for around $32 million from PSV Eindhoven, has played 134 minutes in all competitions.

The winger's one start was also in that Northampton cup match, ending after 55 minutes.

Everton has been linked with Depay as it seeks a replacement for Yannick Bolasie after he was ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. The Toffees are also said to be interested in Schneiderlin.
