Louis van Gaal believes he now knows what Memphis Depay’s best position is.
Van Gaal, quoted by several British Sunday newspapers, said: “We are looking at all players, not just Ronaldo”. “The stuff [I am learning] has stuck with me and Ryan Giggs has given me good advice and I’ve been working on some things with him”.
“I can not answer that”, Van Gaal said when asked if Shaw would play again this season. “I always enjoy it and I have to deal with being one of the oldest players and having a lot of experience but I have to say this team does really well, everyone fights for their team-mates and we try to improve every week”. We have a lot of players who want to play and be involved so it’s a chance for everyone to play their part’. Capoue gave the ball away in midfield, allowing Depay to play it on for Lingard on the counter-attack. “As long as we win as many games as we can over Christmas, I think we’ll be fine”.
“My first impression is that they are not too heavy but the problem is that we have to play Wednesday already”.
