Manchester United keeper David de Gea left sweating on Liverpool start after Louis van Gaal delays decision until last minute
* Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is yet to feature this season
* The Red Devils host rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday evening
* De Gea made his first appearance of the season on Tuesday for Spain
* Louis van Gaal will wait until final training session before making decision
Louis van Gaal will wait until his final training session before deciding whether to reinstate David de Gea for Manchester United's clash with Liverpool.
The Spanish goalkeeper, 24, has not started any of the club's six matches this season and was set for a move to Real Madrid, only for it to dramatically collapse on deadline day.
He was dropped by the manager after a poor performance in United's defeat by Paris Saint-Germain during their pre-season tour of the United States.
Van Gaal questioned De Gea's state of mind on the back of a summer which continually saw the goalkeeper linked with the La Liga giants.
However, when an offer was finally made and accepted on deadline day paperwork was not filed in time to complete the move - triggering a war of words between the clubs.
De Gea, whose contract expires at the end of the season, cannot leave United until the window reopens.
And he could be back between the posts for the clash with their old rivals, which kicks off at 5.30pm.
Van Gaal now monitor the keeper's performance at club's Carrington training ground in the build up to match
Replacement Sergio Romero, signed on a free transfer, was poor in United's 2-1 defeat at Swansea City last time out and may drop to the bench to make way for De Gea's return.
Van Gaal had said he would not select De Gea until the window had closed.
He will now monitor the keeper's performance at the club's Carrington training ground in the build up to the match before delivering his verdict.
De Gea made his first appearance of the season on Tuesday night in Spain's 1-0 win in Macedonia where team-mate Juan Mata's fluke strike was enough to separate the sides.
