Van Gaal reveals team news for Middlesbrough cup clash
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has ruled Antonio Valencia out of Wednesday's Capital One Cup tie against Middlesbrough.
The Ecuador international sustained a foot injury during the 0-0 draw with Manchester City at the weekend and will not be available for Wednesday's fourth-round encounter.
In an exclusive interview with MUTV, the boss admits he has several players in the "red zone" in terms of their fitness, suggesting it may be better to offer the individuals a rest, but he has yet to finalise his team.
"Of course, Valencia is injured - that we could all see," said van Gaal.
"But I have a lot of players in the 'red zone' because we have had a lot of matches and we have a lot of matches to play. I have to see if I can use them or not. I have to decide tomorrow [Wednesday]. We need all the days to recover at this moment, so it is difficult to say."
James Wilson and Andreas Pereira, a scorer in the last round against Ipswich Town, are both in the manager's thoughts as he ponders shuffling his pack as another promotion-chasing side from the Championship visits Old Trafford.
"Yes, of course they are in the selection [the squad]," he confirmed. "But I have to select the line-up and that I don’t know. I have to do that on Wednesday."
The only way to watch United v Middlesbrough in full is on MUTV, at midnight after Wednesday's game. The Reds' official television channel will also have live audio commentary from 20:00 GMT.
Beberapa pemain tim reserve beberapa kali ikut latihan dengan tim utama, kira- kira punya peluang ga yah setidaknya duduk di bangku cadangan?? Goss, Poole, Fuso-Mensah & Varela..
Kalau Perreira & Willson fit, akan sangat menyenangkan melihat semangat muda menjadi ujung tombak plus Blind yang sudah dapat jatah istirahat cukup semoga bisa main di match ini. Belum ada update berita juga dari McNair? Kalu ia sudah fit lebih prefer melihat ia di mainkan.
Prediksi:
Romero,
Darmian, Jones, Blind, Rojo
Carrick, Herrera/Fellaini
Lingard,Perreira,Memphis
Wilson.
Martial ga apa- apa di istirahatkan juga dengan Juan Mata & Smalling mengingat jadwal padat yang menanti. Rooney? Cadangan dulu yakkk capt, kan ada Carrick..
