How should Manchester United line up against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions

Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial have returned to training in the buildup to Manchester United’s Champions League home match against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

The full training group at training today was: De Gea, Romero; Rojo, Smalling, Blind, Varela, McNair, Darmian, Poole; Mata, Young, Powell, Fellaini, Schneiderlin, Lingard, Pereira, Goss, Weir; Memphis, Rooney, Martial, Wilson.

“At half-time I said to remove the first half, the most important thing was that we want to play another match of 45 minutes”, Flores said. “They also beat Manchester United of course”.

“I think how we played was the same system as I played with the Dutch national team, and then he (Depay) has more freedom and these players are so happy with that freedom they can excel and he showed that in the first half”, Van Gaal said.

“In football you always fight for 93 minutes and you always have to believe in it because it was unlucky to get the penalty and then Deeney scored”.

Speaking in Tuesday’s press conference, Van Gaal also quashed any suggestion that his players would seek some form of payback on PSV defender Moreno.

Both Jones and Herrera picked up knocks in the 2-1 Premier League win over Watford on Saturday and will not be risked, while Michael Carrick, who sustained ankle damage on England, is also sidelined. “You can only say how he is dealing with his injury and I think [he is] very good”.

The defeat was Watford’s fifth of the season and left the club 13th in the Barclays Premier League table, but Flores refused to blame Deeney, who now has three goals in his last four appearances. The Dutchman had urged his compatriot Memphis Depay to raise his game and he did so by scoring the first goal early in the match. Luke Shaw, you know.

Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal feels he needs to add more quality on the flanks in order to make his squad more balanced for the rest of the season.

The Red Devils now top Group A, but sit one point ahead of PSV and Wolfsburg, and three clear of CSKA Moscow, with two Pool B games remaining.
