I have said in advance what we need and in my opinion I don’t have a senior creative player.

Manchester United’s Bastian Schweinsteiger may recover from a knee injury in time to captain Germany at the European Championship, his club coach Louis van Gaal said on Friday. He played very well in the first half against Aston Villa.
But football insider Guillem Balague claims the Old Trafford board are fully behind Van Gaal, who is already planning for next season.
“I’ve set a date [for my decision], but I’m keeping it to myself”, said Hummels.
Aside from the Dutchman chasing a top four finish, the Red Devils are also competing in the FA Cup where they will face Everton in the semi-finals this Saturday.
Van Gaal will certainly hope for a start akin to that seen at Old Trafford, where Damien Delaney’s own goal put United on course for victory within four minutes.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has likened teen sensation Marcus Rashford to another of his former teen stars in Patrick Kluivert. Lukaku and De Bruyne quickly emerged as two of Europe’s best players in the two years since they were both dumped by Chelsea. It was more of a midfield role today also because of the way Crystal Palace was playing.
“When we survive Everton, I shall give the players a lot of days off”. “I am very happy with the way he performed”.
Zaha says that despite his history with the Premier League giants, the clash will be just another game for him.
“We had to win, and that we have done – and now it is another game”.
“I thought he had ridden the storm but I’ve heard rumours resurfacing again that the club are leaning towards a change this summer”.
He added: “For me, my battle is against relegation now and we are kind of safe, that is what I know”.
“Selection (for the semi-final) is not so hard because you are following what you see, what your philosophy is, what the game plan is”.
