da apostaganha: Manchester United are set to receive a triple boost ahead of their clash against Watford on Wednesday, with Anthony Martial, Chris Smalling, and Matteo Darmian all recovering from their respective injuries, talkSPORT reports.
da bwin: After months of criticism at Old Trafford mostly directed at manager Louis van Gaal, the Red Devils have suddenly turned their form around and are on a three-game winning streak with their latest being a 3-2 triumph over then-title favourites Arsenal.
However, the club are still struggling from a lengthy injury list, with no less than 17 stars out with respective problems.
But ahead of their league match with Watford, Van Gaal has revealed that Martial, Smalling, and Darmian could all be recalled to feature against the Hornets.
“(Marouane) Fellaini and (Antonio) Valencia are the first ones to come back, I think, except of course Martial, Smalling and Darmian,” he said.
“They are coming back and may be ready tomorrow – it depends on how they feel tomorrow.
“But the chance is there that one of these three players (can) already play, but Fellaini shall come in the last step to the process of team training.
“And also Valencia, for the first time today has trained with the group, so they are coming back. (Wayne) Rooney is still in a brace.”
Out of the three, Martial’s return could cause the Dutchman to have a selection headache due to 18-year-old wonderkid Marcus Rashford’s incredible form, with the striker scoring four goals in the last two games.
“First, I think that the media have to let him in peace and rest,” Van Gaal said regarding Rashford.
“When you are in front of his house and that kind of stuff, I don’t think that is beneficial for a boy of 18 years old.
“Give him the time also to be 18 years and we shall guide him also in that way, but he is a very modest guy so I don’t think that shall be the problem
“But of course when you have so much attention of the media, it can go in another way, but I believe that he shall keep his feet on the ground.”
