Manchester United are expected to play Belgian side Club Brugge in the Champions League play-offs on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 26th August since Manchester United finished 4th in the Barclays Premier League last season. The first leg will be played at Old Trafford. Shouldn't be a difficult game as we could have faced harder opponents such as Lazio, Monaco, CSKA Moscow etc.
Louis Van Gaal has revealed that David de Gea, Marcos Rojo and Bastian Schweinsteiger are not included in the first XI for the 2015/16 season. However that could change if Bastian Schweinsteiger and Marcos Rojo's fitness improves after late arrivals to join up with the team during preseason and injuries may vary. #jetlagged! Louis Van Gaal is not certain David de Gea is in the right frame of mind to start so Sergio Romero is likely to be first choice in goal. Speaking of David de Gea, this whole situation reminds me of two seasons ago under the manage of David Moyes, Wayne Rooney was "unsettled" and took a while to sign a new contract but eventually he stayed so hopefully that will be the same with David de Gea, and hopefully Kiko Casilla impresses Real Madrid to reduce interest in David de Gea.
Regarding the Tottenham opening match of the season tomorrow, Manchester United have an advantage over them as they have just finished their preseason tour and lost most them! And may be unfit tired and jetlagged!
Ashley Young has signed a new contract to stay at Manchester United. Good news he was on fire last season, literally!
Manchester United have just announced the new kit numbers: Marouane Fellaini 27, Sam Johnstone 50, James Wilson 19, Sergio Romero 20, Bastian Schweinsteiger 31, Morgan Schneiderlin, Matteo Darmian 36, Memphis Depay 7, and finally Andreas Perreira 44.
Finally Angel Di Maria has completed his move to PSG for a price of £44 million.
