David De Gea isn’t fit enough to start in Manchester United’s last game of the season which means Victor Valdes gets his first start for the club.

Worryingly, it could mean De Gea’s last game for the Red Devils came last week in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal when he picked up a hamstring injury.
Man United will know that due to last week’s stalemate with the Gunners, automatic Champions League qualification would perhaps be a step too far.
It would require United to win away to Hull today whilst Arsenal would be required to lose at home to West Brom, not to mention a seven goal swing.
Wayne Rooney has recovered from the dead leg that kept him out of last week’s fixture meaning Radamel Falcao is dropped altogether, perhaps confirming he’s played his last game for the club and a permanent option will not be accepted he doesn’t even make the squad.

The bench is a plethora of young talent but many of the youngsters will be concerned for their potential futures at the club considering the amount of deals United have been linked with this summer that could knock them off their kilter.
