Everton are preparing an improved offer for Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.
The Goodison Park club had an initial £19m proposal rejected for the France international after West Brom also failed with an offer of £13m turned down too.
United want to recoup close to the £24m they paid for Schneiderlin despite the fact he has failed to impress at Old Trafford.
United will give Sam Johnstone the go-ahead to join Aston Villa this week after recalling Joel Pereira from his loan at Belenenses.
