I guess it wasn't just Fergie after all
I don't get this logic, Shaw is getting game time when fit. How are you convinced that it is 100% down to LVG and nothing to do with the player?
Must be something else. Any stories about his life outside football? Because if you look at his games for us, he should play.
Really disappointed for him, our best "proper" CM and he never starts. Players have left after one season for that reason alone.
Strange stuff. I'm far from his biggest fan but I've no idea why van Gaal isn't playing him more often, especially with Carrick out.
They should both be starting today.
Weird. He's one midfielder I really like watching, just like Kagawa. Doesn't look good for him.

Yeah, he will score and set up two goals and van Gaal will demote him to reserves.
Mind blowing, I'm starting to get really annoyed with his absence to be honest.
I honestly don't know what to say. I've defended, and backed, LVG all season long. But his recent decisions are just baffling, and impossible to defend.
there were some rumours about him partying and enjoying nightlife in Manchester i think. Which totally surprises me, he seems like a top pro, never heard something bad about him before.
Apparently van Gaal got pissed off at a reporter for asking about why he hasn't played and van Gaal just said the same questions are asked every time about whoever is missing and didn't answer properly.
Its something I'm sure everyone wants to know. Why isnt our most talented, energetic, creative and to be honest, best performing in the few games he's had midfielder not starting games?

Looking back at a few posts when we signed him, you'd swear he was going to be a player that's going to transform our midfield. Now he can't even make the starting 11. Depressing.
I agree. Yet for some reason Van Gaal see's Rooney as a midfielder, when he's arguably been our biggest goal threat.
To be fair, every time he gets subbed on he does completely change the game for our benefit and transforms our midfield so to speak, so we weren't wrong... Just his game time is so limited for whatever reason.
Isn't his girlfriend supposed to be over here now, so might be happy staying at home now, but tbh he doesn't seem that sort.
You should be prepared for not seeing him much until the end of season. I genuinely don't expect him to start a single game before the end of season.
Absolutely criminal the way LVG has handled him.
Squad player, Which is a tragedy in that it means he misses out and we miss Rooney up front.
In his interview yesterday on MUTV he seemed to understand what was happening and was happy to get any game time. He will as likely come on today and either make the team better or at least make sure we win. That is of course the defence doesn't all get injured or some pillock gets sent off for something.
I can only assume it has something to do with the match fixing thing,no other logical explanation.
Yeah it's becoming really annoying that he's put on the bench so often. He's one of the very few players in this team that has a creative, forward-thinking knack in his game, yet he's consistently being shunted to the bench. You said you wanted to create more scoring opportunities, Louis, so why the hell do you not use a creative midfield player?
Its plain weird.
Carrick out, Rooney in midfield, Herrera on the bench. Does anybody on here really believes that Wayne is a better midfielder than Ander?
If he can't get near the side with almost no midfield, how will he do after the summer when we (presumably) buy a midfielder or two? At this point I'd be quite surprised if he's either not a low level rotation player or gone altogether by this time next season.
Van Gaal is trying his best to be sacked, that's the only logical reason. Our only striker who can score goals plays in midfield while the midfielders twitch their arses on the bench.
Rooney in midfield so LVG can shoehorn in the star names up top who stink the place out every week. The sooner he's sacked the better.
I think very few think that on here. The prevailing opinion is that Rooney should be our lone no. 9 and have Herrera in midfield. Rooney is a striker, end of.
But shouldn't he be excluded from the team if that's the case? Why would LvG care if he performs on the pitch?
Why though, isn't the guy at Athletico involved and he plays. James Ducker said he didn't think that sort of thing would influence LvG. I am beginning to think that he has to get those strikers scoring and will pick two strikers for it to happen. One of those strikers is taking a good midfielders place. He will play on Tuesday. Also after what has happened to Carrick, the same better not happen to Rooney from playing in midfield. He is having to put a lot of effort playing there.
Rooney has done very well coming from midfield and provides the strength that Blind lacks. I dont see the problem with that selection.
Its the Falcao and RVP up front selection that seems strange

Van Gaal should leave for not playing our best midfielder out of pure idiocy.
Rooney has been awful, he keep trying the Stevie G hollywood passes and doesn't have the talent in that position to do it. We now have two strikers who cannot score and someone who actually might isolated in midfield.
I thought he'd get a start today, very strange that seemingly everyone is preferred to him.
His passing certainly hasnt been great, but his runs and support of the attack has been very useful. And more importantly LVG seems to want power in midfield especially when Blind plays there, and I'd take Rooney next to him in a 2 over Fellaini any day of the week
I am even more surprised that Mata hasn't started, at home, after bring rested against Cambridge away. I think we can now guess who will be playing on Tuesday.
We have scored 5 goals in 6 games I think, so it isn't working. Wayne loves scoring goals, that is the glory part of the game, not disappearing into the midfield. He will get fed up before long, especially if the strikers aren't scoring. Of course they will now go and score a bucketload today.
He could be our Fabregas..
