Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has said he expects to give more chances to academy stars to join the first-team squad after the recent impressive performances of Jesse Lingard.

Scholes, who won every major honour in the game during his glittering 20-year spell at Old Trafford, puts their lack of attacking prowess purely down to Van Gaal. Never coming back. A waste of a contract and a man who should be playing MLS, if they’d stoop to him.
‘It’s a team you wouldn’t want to play against and its probably a team that you wouldn’t want to play in either. In my opinion we could have scored against Manchester City now, again, that’s the score.
United have scored 15 league goals this season, the lowest among the top four.
“Because in football all that matters is a goal and we have played two matches 0-0”. Speaking to Alan Brazil on Talksport’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Meulensteen said, “You can’t throw it all at Wayne himself, it’s a combination of a few things”.
“I was at the Manchester derby and I watched him (Rooney) for the first 20 minutes”.
“Ruud van Nistelrooy, Teddy Sheringham, Andy Cole, they couldn’t play in this team”.
“You don’t get crosses into the box or midfielders looking for runs”, Scholes added. Players at Manchester United have to know which tools you can use. I have to admit that I’m very proud of that because it’s not an easy game against Middlesbrough.
Premier League leader Manchester City eased to a 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace which was started by Wilfried Bony’s 22nd-minute goal.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough goalkeeper Tomas Mejias hit back at Van Gaal’s jibe that the Championship club were “lucky”. Anthony Martial was denied a third goal by a combination of John Stones and Brendan Galloway after Rooney had sprung the offside trap and picked out the France forward, before De Gea parried Barkley’s effort from a tight angle in a rare first-half chance for Everton.
The Portuguese superstar recently appeared in a BBC documentary about Rooney, which was released after he broke Sir Bobby Charlton’s England goalscoring record, and it’s clear they are still very close.

“We worked so hard and in the end, deserved to win”.
