Manchester United will allow both Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay to leave the club in the January transfer window, with Everton reportedly close to landing the duo.
The out-of-favour stars both cost the Red Devils £25million last summer, yet neither have started a single Premier League game under Jose Mourinho this season.
It is claimed United hope to recoup most of Schneiderlin fee from his permanent transfer to Goodison Park.
Dutch winger Depay, meanwhile, is likely to only leave on loan.
Koeman has of course worked with Schneiderlin during his time at Southampton, where the midfielder’s commanding performances in the middle of the park attracted Manchester United’s interest in the first-place.
