* The match starts at 11pm today, January 11.
Should Rooney be brought back to the attack?
Rooney has not shown long-term effectiveness and stability when playing in the middle of the field.
Dragging Rooney to the midfield is only a temporary solution.
There have been comparisons between Rooney and Paul Scholes after the Man Utd captain scored twice in the win over Newcastle, but those are somewhat hasty comparisons.
Who will lose their place if Rooney returns to the attack?
Getting rid of the promising Falcao or Van Persie is also a headache for Van Gaal, because both have problems.
Van Persie, meanwhile, hasn’t been playing very convincingly recently.
Is it time to untie Di Maria?
In his final and peak season at Real Madrid, Di Maria shined brightly when playing in a three-man midfield.
Van Gaal needs to soon find the right formula to maximize the abilities of Di Maria – the most expensive player in Man Utd history.
Should or not return to a four-man defense?
The win over Southampton last month also saw Man Utd play very poorly with a three-man defense and it will be very risky if Van Gaal continues to let his students adventure with that system.
Marcos Rojo has recovered from injury and could return to take care of Luke Shaw’s left wing, or reinforce the central area of defense.
Rojo, if he returns in time, will be a necessary addition to Man Utd’s defense that is playing very unconfidently.
Rafael returned to training today and can compete, provided he wears a protective mask after his cheekbone fracture injury.
