Rooney and Martial back for Man United, says Van Gaal

Schweinsteiger also praised the performance of David de Gea in the United goal, with his excellent save from Almen Abdi in the second half a standout moment.

Van Gaal, who used to manage Moreno at AZ, urged his players not to target the Mexican on Wednesday, but there seems little doubt the player will get booed by the United faithful even though he visited Shaw in hospital two days after the match. PSV won at home to Wolfsburg in their last Champions League group game after losing away to the German side and CSKA to stand one point behind leaders United and level on points with Wolfsburg.

“He played in the same position for me (for the Netherlands) in the World Cup when Arjen Robben or Robin van Persie was injured, and I knew he could do this, but Jesse Lingard was also fantastic and those two created a lot of chances”.

Captain Wayne Rooney missed that game through illness and while the forward is likely to return against PSV, Van Gaal stressed that his starting place is not guaranteed.

Like Rooney, Fellaini and Martial trained on Tuesday after missing the Watford game.

The Manchester Evening News reports that Phil Jones and Ander Herrera were both forced off during the victory over Watford, while the Mirror claims that Juan Mata also collected a knock at Vicarage Road.

In common with all Premier League matches this weekend, the French national anthem La Marseillaise was played prior to the kick-off following the Paris terror attacks of November 13. I have said already that was not his goal. “I am sure of that, so I don’t think that shall be an issue”.

“I think how he played (up front at Watford), it was more or less the same system as I played with the Dutch national team and he has more freedom”.

“Jones and Herrera are not available for Wednesday”. It is not so heavy but we have to wait and see. The first impression is they are not heavy injuries but we have to play Wednesday.

“I was convinced Luke would have a very good season and because of that I didn’t buy a second player for left-back”.

BT Sport released statistics before the game which showed United had made an average of 47 passes for every shot – the highest in the league – and Scholes says that must change if they are to mount a serious title challenge.
