Louis van Gaal is faced with a dilemma he hasn’t had too often this season, in choosing which players will make the squad for our FA Cup semi-final game against Everton.
Wayne Rooney played in midfield in our 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace during the week and put in a good performance. Van Gaal acknowledges that Rooney’s good form is important, but doesn’t want to single the captain out.
Of course but that counts for every player I think. Not only Wayne. The media and now you are talking about Wayne but we have a squad of 27 players and I am happy with everybody. Every player wants to play in a semi-final. I have to select 18 players and I have now 24 players fit so I have to disappoint six players and that is not fine for a manager. The squad is nearly fit. Only Shaw and Schweinsteiger are unable to play and maybe Januzaj because he didn’t play yet in the second team. But we have a full squad of fit players.
