But mindful that seeing United play against PSV could stoke some bad memories, Van Gaal has given Shaw a few days off from his rehabilitation which, the Dutchman admits, is proving to be a frustrating process for the England global.
United’s injury list has continued to grow, with Phil Jones and Ander Herrera likely unavailable for Wednesday’s match.
While Vardy equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 12-year-old record for scoring in consecutive Premier League games, Leonardo Ulloa and Shinji Okazaki also scored for Leicester.
“When we played at Old Trafford after 10 minutes we were 2-0 down and I will never forget those 10 minutes because they played so unbelievably well”, Schweinsteiger said.
Herrera, who has started three consecutive games in October after forcing his way into Van Gaal’s plans, had only just spoken of taking his opportunities ahead of congested schedule that sees United play 14 games in two months.
“Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin can play, if we don’t take into account this event that has happened”.
“I can’t explain. I don’t think anyone in the team was expecting the first half”. I think also this role for Memphis is the best one for him.
– Memphis Depay’s goal was the first that Watford have conceded in the first half of a game at Vicarage Road since January 24th 2015 (v Blackpool).
Rooney returned from worldwide duty suffering illness, while Martial has a bruised foot and Marouane Fellaini is also sidelined by a calf strain. “Of course we are fighting for the first position in the league”.
“That says everything about them and is typical of the way Manchester United have played this season”, Scholes told BT Sport, as quoted by the Mirror. Jones had a twisted ankle and Herrera a hamstring injury.
“But also Jesse was fantastic – because of those two we created a lot of chances”.
“Maybe now we have to buy a left-back”.
On Deeney, Sanchez Flores added: “It’s a pity because as always he was very fearless to accept the challenge to score the penalty”.

Carrick came back from the worldwide break with injuries, Rooney was ill and we had already injuries – [Antonio] Valencia has been operated on and has a long time away and [Luke] Shaw you know. “So we can take positive conclusions from it”.
