Morgan Schneiderlin says that this season is an "important" one for his future at Manchester United amid rumours that Everton want to sign him.

Morgan Schneiderlin has claimed that the upcoming season is "important" for his future at Manchester United.

The midfielder failed to cement a spot in Louis van Gaal's team last season following his £25m move from Southampton.

There have been rumours that Everton are considering a move for the France international, but the 26-year-old has suggested that he wants to prove himself to new United manager Jose Mourinho.

"I can see a lot of smiles and a lot of enjoyment in the training sessions, which is good," Schneiderlin told United's official website. "The training sessions are sharp and it is very enjoyable. I can feel that confidence and winning mentality which will make us a very good team this season.

"It is a big season for me. Of course there were a lot of things that happened last season, but I am looking forward and this season is going to be very important for me. I am really enjoying every training session, which is good. It is good to have this joy and I can't wait to start the season."

United will begin their Premier League campaign away to Bournemouth on August 14.
