MF: Juan Mata
The Spaniard is the creative hub in the United midfield, but it remains to be seen where he is deployed. With a habit of drifting inside, Van Gaal may look to play him through the middle.
MF: Memphis Depay
Depay scored twice on Tuesday night to open his United account, and Van Gaal will be hoping that it is just the start of things to come from his fellow Dutchman.
ST: Wayne Rooney
His troubles continued in mid-week, but Rooney is adamant that the goals will come. Having hit back at his critics by insisting that his performance against Aston Villa was the only disappointing one so far this season, he knows a goal would silence everyone.
