This son of a bitch Van Gaal rolling out a 3 man backline for a friendly!
Manchester United, playing 3 at the back.
3 strikers sold, and Fernando Torres still remains.
interesting line up
Rooney and Mata seem to be placed wrongly (or at least the pictures)
“It’s probably been the worst three months of my life,” he told newspapers in the United States, where Liverpool are on their pre-season tour. “I’ve seen it a few times. I don’t have to watch something like that to go through the pain again and again and again.
“I’ve been through the pain in the dressing room after and in the weeks and months since. I just stumbled across it. It didn’t hide away. I have TVs in my house and I read papers. There is social media. When something like that happens you have to face up and be man enough to take it on the chin. Accept it happened. You can’t change it.
“I haven’t lost my man at a set-piece. I haven’t missed a penalty. I haven’t made a bad pass or a mistake. That’s why it was cruel. Every single person on the planet slips at some point in their life, whether it is on a set of stairs, on the floor or whatever.
“For me, it happened on the pitch at a really bad moment. But over the course of 38 games a lot happens for you and against you and that determines whether you win the league or not. That moment happened at a crucial time and I have to face that. And I will do.”

Phil Neville has ended speculation over his role at Manchester United by revealing that he is not on Louis van Gaal's coaching staff. reports the Manchester Evening News.
The former Reds utility man was brought back to the club by David Moyes, and stayed on under Ryan Giggs as part of a team also including Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.
The arrival of Louis van Gaal and Giggs' appointment as his No.2 had led to uncertainty over whether Neville, Scholes and Butt would be retained.
However, on the day it was confirmed that the 37-year-old would take up a role as a pundit on BBC's Match of the Day, Neville has explained that he will not be part of the Dutchman's staff.
A fan tweeted: "Phil, are you still on the coaching team at United? #legend", to which Neville simply replied: "No".
Alongside his role with the BBC, Neville is set to focus on his commitments with Salford City FC.
The semi-professional local club was purchased by Neville, his brother Gary, and their fellow United academy graduates Giggs, Butt and Scholes.
Fellow forumers, tell me, is Benatia any good? Utd are after him.
