Will this be the last time Louis Van Gaal selects the team?

Manchester United kick-off the full programme of St. Stephen's Day Premier League fixtures when they travel to Stock City for a 12.45pm kick-off today. Louis Van Gaal has been under serious pressure recently, with reports that he's hanging onto his job by a thread, so this game is vital for the Dutchman. This is the team he's gone with... And this is the bench... The big news is that captain Wayne Rooney is omitted from the starting XI, but with a host of games to be played at this time of year, including the match with Chelsea on December 28, this is probably just a case of squad rotation. Either way, today is a massive game for Manchester United and the skipper isn't playing.
