Prediction
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has been left out of the squad for Tuesday’s game at PSV Eindhoven because of injury while striker James Wilson and midfielder Andreas Pereira are in the squad. Andreas Pereira joined Manchester United prom PSV in August last year. Another Manchester United player, Memphis Depay, could also play against former club PSV.
Couch Philip Cocu could recall Jetro Willems back to the starting fold for the first time this season. PSV’s regular left-back wasn’t risked in their 6-0 win away to Cambuur but could come in here.
PSV Eindhoven and Manchester United have not met since 2000, when United ran out 3-1 winners.
Van Gaal’s experience in the Dutch league could be crucial for the final result of the game in Eindhoven.
