Morgan Schneiderlin in contention for rare Manchester United appearance in EFL Cup tie with West Ham

Out-of-favour Morgan Schneiderlin is fighting for a spot in the Manchester United team for Wednesday’s EFL Cup clash with West Ham.

Jose Mourinho brought Bastian Schweinsteiger back in from the cold for Sunday’s Premier League draw against the same opponents and could claim a place in the squad.

Schneiderlin trained with the squad this week after not being named on the bench at the weekend or the Europa League tie with Feyenoord last Thursday.
