Rafael and Shaw both injured.
I think LVG will play something like:
De Gea
Jones Smalling Evans
Carrick
Lingard Herrera Rooney Blackett
Di Maria
RVP Falcao
Probably Jones, and then Blackett at left back if Shaw is injured.Shaw could be available for this, Rafael won't
Will be interesting to see who will play RB, McNair most likely? Maybe we can sign someone this week

Let's hope we make a signing in the meantime then! We really need a fullback soon.It's really awful and you just know with Smalling, Jones and Evans all together on the pitch, one of them will injure himself in this game.
Don't think van Gaal would even start Rojo or Blind if they were fit, he's eased the players back in after injuries this season.Just mentioned on another thread I think it'll have to be four at the back assuming Valencia is out. Jones at right back which isn't ideal and Blackett at left back, unless one of Blind or Rojo are fit to play there. The only way I can see it possibly being three at the back next week is if Valencia and Blind are both fit to start which seems very unlikely.
There's an U-21 game on Friday, so if they are fit they might get a run out in that, can't imagine he would throw them straight in against Southampton. At least Carrick has had a rest today.Don't think van Gaal would even start Rojo or Blind if they were fit, he's eased the players back in after injuries this season.

True, he may have no choice. And as @DomesticTadpole pointed out, there's an U21 game on Friday they could get some minutes in.You're most likely right. Certainly not Blind as he's been out longer. He might through Rojo in if he has to like he did with Jones against Liverpool.
With our luck there really is no point, look at how it worked out with Shaw and Rafael!Don't think van Gaal would even start Rojo or Blind if they were fit, he's eased the players back in after injuries this season.
