Man United steal late victor at Watford, but Schweinsteiger denied first Prem

Van Gaal, quoted by several British Sunday newspapers, said of possible future transfer activity: “We are looking at all players, not just Ronaldo”. But these players are mostly ungettable.

‘He plays on the wings and he is fast and scores goals.

Restricted since then to 71 minutes in the Capital One Cup and a couple of brief sub outings against Champions League opponents CSKA Moscow, his manager warned him unless he bucked up his ideas he would end up as another expensive Old Trafford flop belong to the same under-achievers club as Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao.

Chris Flanagan was in the press box at Vicarage Road to analyse how a more energetic Manchester United won 2-1 at Watford using Stats Zone – FREE on iOS and Android… With Fellaini still sidelined by a calf problem, Van Gaal admits he has a “big problem” selecting an attack for Saturday. United looked set to win 1-0 after Dutchman Memphis Depay put them ahead in the 11th minute, a lead they held until Deeney equalised by blasting his penalty past United keeper David De Gea in the 87th after substitute Marcos Rojo brought down Odion Ighalo. “So I had to change the system”.

Van Nistelrooy had tweeted a good luck message to Vardy prior to the game. “I did not play [Marcos] Rojo also because when you have jet lag you can not play”. “I am pleased but it is very fast”.

United went off guard in second half: The hosts grew into the game in the second half and kept the pressure on United.

“They played us off the pitch”.

“But nevertheless we have created a lot of chances”.

“But I don’t think I have seen a performance yet that convinced me and I thought, “wow that team is brilliant and can go on to win the league”. We’re happy with the three points”. It was an injection, the equaliser.

“But it is a world in which unfortunately if you want to keep your place in the team you have to be playing to a very high level especially when other people are doing well around you”.

He then claimed that he had identified Memphis’s best position, despite not trying him there all season while Wayne Rooney utterly stank out the whole side for three months. Antonio Valencia has been operated on. Luke Shaw, you know. Jones and Herrera are not available for Wednesday. Jones had a twisted ankle and Herrera a hamstring injury.

Depay’s United career has been one of fits and starts since his £31million move in the summer but Van Gaal may have stumbled upon a temporary solution to his side’s attacking woes, with the striker offering the kind of movement and speed in behind that has been so lacking in recent weeks. He is at home.

“I hope there are many more seasons to come with United and there’s still more to achieve in the competition”, the 31-year-old told Inside United.
