  • Midfielder Schneiderlin looked set for a move to Old Trafford this summer 
  • However, Bastian Schweinsteiger's arrival in Manchester puts it in doubt
  • Now Mauricio Pochettino is being kept updated on Schneiderlin's future 

Tottenham are preparing to re-enter the race for Morgan Schneiderlin after Manchester United pushed ahead with their deal for Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Schneiderlin looked set for a move to Old Trafford after Arsenal pulled out of the running for the France midfielder.

But Schweinsteiger's move to United has thrown the Southampton star's own move north into doubt.

It is understood Schweinsteiger's relationship with Louis van Gaal was a major factor behind his decision

And Mauricio Pochettino is being kept updated on Schneiderlin's future ahead of a possible move.

Schneiderlin is Pochettino's first choice midfield target but with United and Arsenal both interested, his chances of landing the Frenchman looked remote.

But hopes are rising that they can pull off a swoop for the defensive midfielder this summer. Pochettino failed to land Schneiderlin last summer, despite the Frenchman's wish to move to White Hart Lane.

The pair have a good relationship from their time together at St Mary's and Pochettino hopes he can use it to lure him to London.
