Louis van Gaal is chasing goals, and points. As many as he can get.
The Manchester United boss has recalled Wayne Rooney to his starting line-up and is pleased to have the likes of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling back in his defence.
The Dutchman’s selection is definitely attacking, with Memphis, Juan Mara, Anthony Martial and Marouane Fellaini all starting.
Ashley Young will, most likely, play right back with Daley Blind on the other flank.
