If there is a club that is eagerly waiting for the match day, then it has to be Manchester United. The Red Devils on the back of their first victory of the season last week are raring to get on the pitch with their new found vibe and superstars.
Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United beat QPR 4-0 and after having to watch the midweek Champions League action in a hope to return to the elite competition next year, they now switch their attention back to the Premier League. United travel to King Power Stadium to face another newly promoted side Leicester City and will be looking to repeat their performance against QPR.
The likes of Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo all started against QPR and impressed with their performances, while Radamel Falcao started from the bench.
The players were involved in the final training session yesterday in the club’s Aon Training Complex before their travel to Kind Power Stadium and it looks like Argetine International Di Maria has settled in well at his new club. He was found sharing a laugh with Juan Mata and David De Gea
Here are some pictures from the training ground.
Meanwhile, van Gaal during his pre-match press conference has said that his captain Wayne Rooney would always feature in his team and that the English International has Special privileges.
“There are always players you put in a team. My captain shall always play and normally the goalkeeper, so it’s not a surprise,” van Gaal said.
LVG also pointed out that no player in his team is a guaranteed starter besides De Gea and Rooney, probably stating his claim for the players to perform in the way he expects them to.
“I don’t think any player is fixed. Only the captain has more privileges, but no other player has privileges, I think. Every player knows that because you can see that by how I manage my teams.”
“Maybe it’s a surprise Blackett has played all the games but he has played well and Mata is a very good player.
