Van Gaal did however receive positive news on the fitness of Marcos Rojo, who is closing in on a return to the first team after three months out with following a dislocated shoulder.
He has sold many players that others would have kept, has spent money on players that many felt were overrated and has continued to instill a philosophy that does not match the attacking football that Manchester United have played over the years.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Guillermo Varela are the first names that come to mind of reserves players that have made their senior debuts under van Gaal. We are human beings also. They play with diagonal pressing and when I see the data of Midtjylland they have always won against English opponents.
When asked about De Gea, Van Gaal said: “I was hoping for that, but he will not be involved”.
The Chairman of I-League Division 2 side Dempo revealed that he no longer holds a stake with United’s Europa League opposition.
Manchester United centre-back Chris Smalling will be kept out of the second leg of the Red Devils UEFA Europa League clash with FC Midtjylland after the England defender picked up a shoulder injury.
We can’t help but think of this photo, when we hear LVG use the word “horny” publicly. “Most of the [Midtjylland] players shall be excited and it will be the match of their lives for a lot of them”.
“Now we believe we can beat them and I’m sure we will go there and do it”.

“For me as a player, the only thing I have in my mind is to perform as good as I can in every single game”, he said. “There are not so many players who can do what Anthony Martial is doing”.
