Manager's Press
Conference: Manchester
United vs Sunderland


INJURY UPDATE
“We have the same 3 injuries – Rojo,
Shaw and McNair. We have to wait and
see how the others recover as there’s only
two days between matches.

“I spoke to him [Shaw] last night. He was
very positive which is amazing for me.
It’s a very good signal. We have started
the rehabilitation. He shall be visited at
home for first electro muscle stimulants.”


MARTIAL'S IMPRESSIVE START
The boss: "It is a little bit of luck, but of
course the main thing is his quality. As a
player, he has to do it and he has to cope
with the pressure. What we have seen
until now, he can do it."


MARTIAL'S STYLE
“His personality is that he is an open guy,
he is listening, he is watching, he is
focusing on the matches. For a manager,
he is a very coachable player – that is also
why I bought him.”

BOSS DISCUSSES WILSON LOAN
“He is the natural successor of Martial ,
but he needs to play. However,
Manchester United's interests are always
higher than individual interests, so I have
doubts about letting him go.”
“Maybe we will have to wait until
December to see how it is with our club.
Are we succeeding in the Champions
League? In the Capital One Cup? Maybe
he shall receive minutes off me because I
have to rotate as I did against Ipswich
Town and it can also be done in the other
matches. I have talked with him and I
think we’ll wait until December.”
( my opinion here is may be either Fellaini/Rooney have
been relegated back to the #10 role or
LVG thinks Wilson is a better striker than
both of them.)



Louis and Dick go way back, and he’s
feeling sorry for his old pal.
“I sympathise with him. I hope Sunderland
win every game - apart from against us!”

MARTIAL HAS BEEN LUCKY, SAYS
VAN GAAL
Stefan Coerts
The coach has praised the quality shown
by the 19-year-old in his first weeks at Old
Trafford but feels good fortune has also
played its part
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal
says Anthony Martial has had a "little bit of
luck" in his first few weeks at Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old has netted four goals in
four appearances in all competitions since
joining United from Monaco on deadline
day of the summer transfer window.
He has also been compared to France
legend Thierry Henry for his calmness in
front of goal, though Van Gaal believes
good fortune has played a part in his fine
start.
"It is a little bit of luck, but of course the
main thing is his quality," Van Gaal stated
at a press conference.
"As a player, he has to do it and he has to
cope with the pressure. What we have seen
until now, he can do it.
"His personality is that he is an open guy,
he is listening, he is watching, he is
focusing on the matches. For a manager,
he is a very coachable player – that is also
why I bought him."
The arrival of Martial has limited James
Wilson's opportunities at Old Trafford and
Van Gaal has admitted the young striker
could be allowed to leave on a temporary
basis in order to get more playing time.
"We will wait until December to review
Wilson's situation," the Dutchman
added. "We might decide to loan him out."
The England Under-21 international scored
once in 13 Premier League appearances
last term, but has yet to feature for the first
team in 2015-16.

Know the opposition

Sunderland AFC nicknamed The Black
Cats, are a professional football club
based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear,
England; and were founded in 1879 as
Sunderland and District Teachers
Association Football Club by James
Allan. Although they haven't been
competitive in recent seasons,
Sunderland were one of the most
successful clubs in the nation through
the late 19th century, and the early
parts of the 20th, winning 6 league
championships between 1892 and
1936, and were termed the 'Team of
All Talents' at the turn of the 20th
century; aside from winning the FA
Cup twice and the League Cup once.
The club plays its home games at the
Stadium of Light, and has a long-
standing sporting rivalry with
neighbors Newcastle United in a
match termed the Tyne-Wear Derby.

If Manchester United win against
Sunderland today, they will have the
same number of points (16) they had
after 12 games last season.
 
ManUtd have lost just 1 of their last 10
games at Old Trafford (W7, D2).
 
Wayne Rooney has gone 11 Premier
League appearances without a goal, the
longest barren spell of his career.
 
Rooney needs one goal to move joint-third
with Denis Law in the club’s list of all-
time leading league scorers, with 171
goals.
 
ManUtd have lost just 1 of their last 29
games against Sunderland at Old Trafford.
