Scholes wants United to attack

De Gea said that Hernandez had been the best player at Manchester United one season and was an undisputed starter. He seems to be addressing the same issues that many United fans have and has been an advocate for change at Old Trafford.

When asked why he felt Van Gaal sold the Mexico global, De Gea told ESPN: “I don’t know”.

“Nobody let me down or disappointed me – these are things that happen”.

Since returning to the United starting XI, De Gea has gained a commendable WhoScored rating of 6.94 in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United fans were ecstatic when De Gea’s transfer to Madrid fell through at the last moment on Transfer Deadline day, especially considering the poor performances by backup Sergio Romero. It’s very hard to describe what that day was like.

Suddenly he is starting for his club, and providing the sort of energy and penetrative running that has been sorely missing in United’s play.

However, De Gea says Van Gaal was quick to assure him that he remains a key player for United. LVG’s relatively short managerial term at United, allegedly until 2017, suggests he doesn’t have the time to nurture a player and reap the benefits, he needs finished articles, which makes the Angel Di Maria episode further bemusing.

“We went out to eat, played Playstation, I went to his house; he came to mine”.

“Rooney will score goals if he is given the right kind of set-up to work in”.

Louis van Gaal must feel like he is destined never to have the midfielder fully fit and for a prolonged period. But we talk mostly about football.

Scholes was remembered for a few of his long range goals for the Red Devils with his stunner against Aston Villa one of the best in the leagues history.

Speaking to Catalunya Radio, Herrera said: “He’s a very demanding person, very forward and very honest, which I value a lot”.
