Van Gaal should not use 4-2-3-1.
Man United don’t need two holding midfielders.
They need to score more goals and won’t do that with Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger together.
Before tonight’s Leicester v United game at 5.30, Jamie Vardy has been getting all the attention, which has made Mahrez invisible.
A classy 24-year old, Riyad Mahrez is as brilliant off the ball as he is on it.
He’s efficient in the front third. He produces, gets into scoring positions, finds teammates in scoring positions.
Since Ranieri signed former Villa winger Marc Albrighton, the Algerian international has been playing further forward
Arsenal were linked with Mahrez yesterday.
That’s hilarious! He played for 60 games for Le Havre. Did scout Gilles Grimandi not rate him?
Leicester have improved since they beat Man Utd 5-3 last season.
United were 3-1 down at half-time last September but I missed the first half because we’d been to see Leighton House, down near Kensington High Street.
Back home I wasn’t surprised to find that United were winning.
Have to admit I was shocked by what happened in the second half.
As I say, Leicester have improved in the last 14 months.
Watch Mahrez.
