Louis van Gaal hoping Man Utd’s injury woes won’t harm Champions League

Watford striker Troy Deeney scored a 90th-minute own goal, soon after converting an equalizing penalty, to gift Manchester United a 2-1 win in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Today’s news, however, indicates that the medical staff at United will be working overtime over the next couple of days, with as many as ten players in doubt or definitely out for this week’s Champions League tie with PSV Eindhoven. Herrera provided the assist with a cross from the right wing, and Memphis Depay slid in behind the defence to send his first-time shot into the top corner of the goal.

Juan Mata also picked up a knock in the second half.

After weeks of criticism Memphis will finally earn some praise after an impressive performance, which earned him the official man of the match award.

United moved onto 27 points from 13 games, a point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal and two clear of Leicester City, who are all in action later.

With the England global sidelined for an extended period of time following his broken leg injury in September, manager Louis van Gaal has always expressed his concern for a lack of a proper replacement considering the likes of Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Ashley Young aren’t used to play in that role.

Louis Van Gaal is delighted with the progress in the Champions League.

Jones was having a good game alongside him, though his involvement was cut short by injurry when he was forced off in the second half and replaced by Paddy McNair.

The Manchester United side showed plenty of attacking potential in the match against Watford, creating chances and going forward regularly. Tomorrow (Sunday) he comes and then I can say more. Interestingly he also had two academy players in Sean Goss and Marcus Rashford who made the bench.

” I’ve got my cellmates coming – I told them it would all come true”.

Earlier Gomez had been the hero – clawing away Jesse Lingard’s goalbound effort after he’d been set free by the revitalised Depay.
