Forgotten former Man Utd star, 33, signs for Greek minnows after lasting just TEN DAYS at previous club | The Sun

FORMER Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has signed for Greek Super League side Kifisia.

Schneiderlin, 33, arrived at the club earlier this week and has now been officially announced as a Kifisia player.


He could make his debut during Kifisia's league match against Aris on Sunday.

The midfielder initially joined Turkish side Konyaspor on a free transfer in August, but his contract was mutually terminated after just 10 days due to "family reasons".

An official statement from the Super Lig side read: "Professional football player Morgan Schneiderlin, whose transfer we have announced recently, conveyed to our management that he wanted to leave due to family reasons.

"As a result of the consultations and evaluations, our club approached Morgan Schneiderlin's request positively and terminated his contract by mutual agreement."
