Projected Manchester United Lineup vs Swansea City: Herrera Likely To Remain In The First XI

published :

Manchester United on Saturday visits the Liberty Stadium to face the home side Swansea City for a crucial Premier League game. They will be high on confidence after their crushing away victory over Preston North End this Monday in an FA Cup 5th round tie.

Every single game in the Premier League game from now on will be crucial for Louis van Gaal’s men as they would like to finish among the top four in the league. Faltering in one match also may result may see them out of the top four-zone. Also Louis van Gaal had to swallow a bitter defeat in his debut competitive match as Manchester United manager in the season opener against the same opponents at home. Manchester United will hope to turn the odds this time around at the away venue.

Louis van Gaal missed the services of Robin van Persie in the previous game owing to an injury. The Dutch striker in all probability will make a come back to the starting lineup. Ander Herrera who had scored in the last is likely to remain in the first XI.

The probable lineup against Swansea is likely to be like this:

David De Gea; Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw; Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Angel Di Maria, Wayne Rooney; Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao

Michael Carrick who is still not fit is likely to stay out of this game too. The four back policy of Louis van Gaal has been successful and we hope that the Dutch manager will stick to the same tactics. Due to Robin van Persie’s arrival, van Gaal will find it difficult to fit in Juan Mata, given the fact that now Wayne Rooney will track back to his number 10 position.
