We compile a United XI of players who are unavailable to Louis van Gaal right now for one reason or another.
Non-Manchester United fans are loving the start to this new season as Louis van Gaal has had a wretched start to his tenure as manager. They have been ridiculer from all angles and a lot of it very justified, but we have to have a certain amount of sympathy with the man when you see the players he cannot call upon due to injury, out on loan or cannot be picked due to work permit issues.
So without further ado, here is the Manchester United team which is unavailable to Louis van Gaal. Unlike the Dutchman, we’ve gone for a 4-5-1:
That team in full is: Johnstone, Rafael, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Kagawa, Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini, Lingard, Zaha
Okay, it’s not the strongest looking team in the world, but the way that the current team are playing at the moment, we think this lot could give them a proper game. Angel di Maria must be wondering where everyone is.
