Semi-Neutral
Sir Alupp Heynrguson
Its odd isn't it and i suppose i can't really say he would start over any of them as he doesn't even get game time to show if he is better/worse than any of the listed above ahah. Obviously Van Gaal does hold him in as high esteem as united fans or people who watched him regulary for bilbao.
One thing that does confuse me is why does rosicky not get more game time? He has been brilliant the last few times i have seen him. I know he is getting on but surely he can still play more...
Wenger always saves Rosicky, I'm not sure why but if I had to guess he wants a DM, a CAM, and a "work-rate" midfielder, and Rosicky is great if he plays sporadically but if he was handed a starting role he would very quickly tire out? Since he is 34 and all...
I also agree with the trio of Di Maria-Herrera-Blind, seems to me like he bought all three of them for exactly that purpose, makes enormous amount of sense, Di Maria can provide width if needed, Rooney can drop back, play another wider player with Falcao up top, back 4 United are used to... The only explanation I have is they tried it in training and something went completely wrong...
