Morgan Schneiderlin says there is plenty more to come from him as Manchester United prepare to battle for a top four spot.

The midfielder arrived at Old Trafford last summer after weeks of transfer speculation, and has so far made 27 appearances in all competitions.

But despite a solid showing from the Frenchman so far, he insists that the United faithful haven't seen the best of him yet and says there is more to come.

"When I first came I had big expectations and, of course, I wanted to play for the title and I wanted to have a big impact straight away on everything. It's a new philosophy and a new thing to take on board," Schneiderlin told MUTV.

"I had some good games and a good spell but there's a lot of competition and so even in my time when I didn't play every game I was still learning, still trying to improve and doing my best. 

"Since the weeks went on in the season, I've felt better and better and of course I know I have plenty more to show to everyone and plenty more in my locker."

United have picked up some big results in their last two Premier League games - beating Manchester City and Everton - which has seen them storm into the top four picture.

The Red Devils also have an FA Cup quarter-final to settle with West Ham next week and Schneiderlin hopes the side can finish the season with a flourish. 

"We look game by game, we're not looking too far ahead but we know that we have some big games coming, like Leicester and Tottenham and the FA Cup and we want to win everything and make sure we finish very strong," the France international added.

"Of course we are all disappointed not to play for the title, but in football you never know what can happen so we will try to finish as strong as possible.

"Hopefully the teams who are in front will drop some points and we can capitalise on that."
