Man United saved the blushes with a late victor at lowly Watford
Manchester United don’t have too many days like that under Louis van Gaal in terms of conceding too many goals.
The Portuguese attacker has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu and both Man Utd and PSG are reportedly interested in his services.
Lavishing praise on Ronaldo, the Dutchman said there is no trainer in the world who doesn’t like him as he is fast and scores lot of goals for his side, the Daily Express reported. “Of course we look”, Van Gaal told various British Sunday newspapers. Van Gaal also said striker James Wilson has a swollen knee. “With Ronaldo, let’s wait and hope”.
However, Van Gaal is down to the bare bones in his squad and has a host of star names on the sidelines now. “It is most probably the best game and the game most people will watch on Saturday”.
The Bundesliga is a good grounding for players attempting to adapt to the Premier League and Rodriguez has impressive global pedigree, having started in all four of Switzerland’s World Cup games a year ago. After the match he was put on the spot with a question about Ronaldo and it was one of those loaded questions that was going to get the United manager in the headlines regardless of his answer.
But if consistency reaches the same level as the vibrant, intelligent displays he produced against Moscow and West Brom, he may find the England door opening sooner than he may think.
‘You can have a lot of difficulties to keep all the players with confidence, but it’s true it wasn’t our team in the first half.
“I think we didn’t play so good offensively”.
“When you can do that as a team then I am very proud that I am the manager”.
Luke Shaw is stretchered off against PSV Eindhoven. “Jones (twisted ankle) and Herrera (hamstring injury) are not available for Wednesday”.
Rooney will also miss the trip to Vicarage Road through illness.
Memphis Depay played for the first time since October, due to Rooney and Martial being injured and performed brilliantly.
For Quique Sanchez Flores, he will know Watford’s survival will not depend on beating the likes of Manchester United but this was a draw they should have held on to. “It was a pity for Troy because he was only in that position because he is so committed all over the pitch”.
