Marcos Rojo sidelined for several weeks after shoulder injury in United training

Another ex-Milan manager being linked with United is Juventus chief Massimiliano Allegri, who guided the Bianconeri to the Champions League final last term.

Having settled into life at Old Trafford, Schneiderlin now feels confident he can begin to consistently show his best form under Louis van Gaal.

“His ankle is not good enough and we have to recover that ankle with a lot of strength”. We have to let him train to make the ankle stronger, that’s very important.

“He’s a manager who likes to work with young players, as you can see at the moment, and he just needs a bit of time because put it all together”.

Marcos Rojo is also out after dislocating his left shoulder in training, an injury the Argentina defender also sustained last season when he was sidelined for four weeks.

According to The Sun UK, a in insider revealed that players are already frustrated there are no innovations to their training sessions and suggested it is already affecting player’s morale and performances.

“In terms of the quantity of injuries we are not bad, but unfortunately those three injuries have happened to our key players, especially on the offensive side of our game”.

Louis van Gaal is a cruel, energy sapping fun sponge.

The report also states that the squad are given a bedtime of 10:30pm, and that Van Gaal tries to adhere to a similar routine for away games.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy broke the English Premier League record by scoring for the 11th straight game in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Saturday. Jesse Lingard is fit, though, a boost Van Gaal described as “good news”.

In contract, Herrera is one of those few players, who injects pace and creativity into the side, but surprisingly he is often being ignored by the Dutchman.

“You can not avoid those because football is a sport with direct resistance. It’s very unfortunate, also in the position of Luke Shaw so I have a great problem”, he said. “We are looking but it is not for sure”.

United missed the chance to move to the top of the table by drawing at in-form last weekend. They have been the regulars for Manchester United recently, which has caused some United fans to accuse van Gaal of being too defensive.
