Schneiderlin: The kit man will need a rest after putting my name on the kit
Morgan Schneiderlin has joked that he couldn’t give the kit man a big number as he will be worn out after adding his name, so instead chose number 2.
Morgan added that his favourite number is 8 but that was already taken by Ross Barkley and he admires the England midfielder, so is happy with number 2.
“Number eight is my favourite but one of the great players here Ross Barkley wears that already. I respect him.
“I wanted to give the kit man a rest after putting Schneiderlin on the back. They wouldn’t want a big number after that!
“A lot of squad numbers had already been taken and number two was free. I couldn’t have 13 because of superstition and after that there was 36, 37, 38 which I think is too high.
“I will take the number two for now and if it’s good for me I will keep it.”
