Morgan Schneiderlin admits he lost the 'joy of football' during difficult period at Manchester United

Morgan Schneiderlin has admitted he fell out of love with football during his difficult spell at Manchester United.

The French midfielder moved to Everton in the January transfer window after a testing period at Old Trafford - he played just three times in the Premier League this season before his switch.

He had begun well under Louis van Gaal but the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager changed his situation with the Manchester club.

Schneiderlin scored his first goal for Everton in the league on Saturday as they beat West Brom 3-0, and he believes the confidence he has gained from boss Ronald Koeman has helped him love the game again.
