Sky Bet Championship leaders Brighton and Hove Albion could be rocked, with the news emerging that Manchester United could be set to recall hotshot striker James Wilson.

While Louis van Gaal struggles to cover the ever-widening gaps in his squad, a number of players he has allowed to leave are excelling elsewhere. Actually, back in October they were “baffled” too.
Their squad is also far stronger than many appear to want to believe: they can manage Alexis Sanchez’s injury because of the presence of players like Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Falcao has fared even worse than Van Persie, enduring another nightmare loan spell in the Premier League, this time at Chelsea.
United dropped a sorry 1-2 decision to surprise team AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium last Saturday, as per SkySports. “But I never said that”, the message from Hernandez to the fan account read. “David Beckham was a hero of mine with Cantona and (Ryan) Giggs, that kind of era”.
The Mexican global was a goalscorer and always came up with the goods when United needed them at vital stages.
Giggs, of course, is still at the club, still sitting in the dugout trying to work out why United are stalling.
Failing to make it out of a relatively easy Champions League group while producing some very un-United-like ponderous and boring football, van Gaal’s side look quite a way off the finished article, despite that massive investment.
Coincidentally, neither Ashley Young nor Wayne Rooney has played for United since that game. Apparently United officials have contacted Pep Guardiola to replace Van Gaal sooner than expected.
The injuries might be no fault of Van Gaal’s, but the shortage of resources to cope with them certainly is, especially when the majority of formerly key first-team players he has shown the door are excelling. “I don’t know why because I felt better every day”, he points out.

“With the right attitude and each of us giving the maximum we will get out of this situation”.
