Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial back in training with Manchester United

Louis van Gaal has confirmed Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial are fit to face PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Louis van Gaal has again stressed Manchester United need to sign more wingers but has refused to discuss reported interest in Arjen Robben.

Injured players are often seen watching United games from the stands, but mindful that seeing the team play against PSV could trigger some bad memories, Van Gaal has given Shaw a few days off from his rehabilitation which, the Dutchman admits, is proving to be a frustrating process for the England global. “And the second reason I thought ‘Why he is fed up?'”

United, who are unbeaten in Europe since their defeat by PSV in September, could be without a number of key players for the crucial match at Old Trafford. “I think that they are a very good team”.

“The most important lesson for us is that we have to play the ball quicker and at a much higher tempo”, Blind told a press conference. Last season was his adaptation season, and he was on his way to doing that.

“But still it is a big loss because he is the best left full-back of Manchester United”.

PSV coach Phillip Cocu hopes Moreno, who is expected to start, will not be booed by United fans as a result of the tackle that broke Shaw’s leg.

“We have five injured players”, said Van Gaal.

When asked if Rooney’s privileges had returned, Van Gaal said: ‘No, that is not automatic. “I am sure of that so I don’t think that shall be an issue. In football, it can happen” – and provided an injury update on Shaw’s recuperation.

Midfielder Juan Mata hailed George Best “a genius forever” as an injury-hit Manchester United aim to mark the 10th anniversary of the Northern Irishman’s death with a Champions League victory against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Anthony Martial is pleased to be back. “It is always a decision of the manager”, said Van Gaal. I compare these players with each other and take into account how fit they are and how fit they showed they are in the training session.
