Schneiderlin aims for Everton glory

EVERTON midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has promised to push himself to the limits in pre-season games to help the Merseyside club lay the groundwork for a successful 2017-18 campaign.

Schneiderlin made 14 appearances for Everton after moving to Goodison Park from Manchester United in January, helping them secure a seventh-placed league finish and a qualifying spot in next season’s Europa League.

“I want to push this football club back to the top,” he said.

Everton start their pre-season fixtures with a friendly in Tanzania before a trip to face Dutch side FC Twente on July 19.

Their Europa League campaign begins with the first leg of their third round qualifier on July 27. – Reuters
