Rio Ferdinand has written in The Sun that Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy should try to make the most of the lack of pace of Manchester United’s Daley Blind.
Van Gaal said: “He was already last season a very nasty player for us”.
He said: “I think we are building a very good construction”. He scored and provoked a penalty and now he is scoring 10 games in a row. I know they have good, strong players and their manager is a good organiser. “It’s not so easy to do that”.
Rojo and Lingard are both understood to be out of today’s encounter, which will see United top the Premier League if they beat Claudio Ranieri’s surprise table-toppers.
Last match they played on January 31st 2015 in Premier League when United won 3-1 at home.
The England worldwide has been the star man for Leicester and Van Gaal has praised the side and the forward for their displays this season.
Not a ringing endorsement – but there’s a chance!
The Spaniard received many plaudits for his outstanding form last season although there is no doubting this time around United’s defensive meanness is based around a collective effort.
“This week we had calls from French and Danish TV crews who are over here filming, and the Danish guys asked if they could come into the office to interview me”.
Van Gaal has defended his decision not to play the 19-year-old, who has made just two appearances for United this season. “That is why we are second in the Premier League and second in our Champions League”.
‘But we are not giving much away.
But Van Gaal confirmed he will miss the game along with Jones, who again suffered another setback.
“I’ve thought for some time that something could be done about it and after several conversations with my agent and my fiancee, Becky, we chose to set up V9 to unearth talent and give those players a shot – hopefully at earning professional contracts but also to learn what it takes to be a professional at the highest level”. We look ahead to a tense and nail-biting final game of each group for the English clubs and check out what they need to do to progress.
“We have to think what is better for a player like Wilson at the moment.
