Going to assume he fecked Mrs. Van Gaal.
We desperately need a player like him in the team, a player who will cover the whole pitch win the balls and will make us solid, look at Herrera today he was doing it all if he had a partners of manchester United quality he could more focus on creating more and passing which was off today but he won so many balls, done defensive job which if made by a player like Schneiderlin would definitely help him and other players to start attacks higher and overall have an easier job.
Yes.. it has been amateur hour from LVG with some of the midfield selections in this bad patch.
Has Herrera and schneiderlin ever played in the same midfield together, as a 2 or 3?
don't think so
EDIT: Nope, was Schweinsteiger Herrera nevermind.
EDIT 2: CSKA Moscow Away we had Herrera, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin.
Crazy that really. Arguably our 2 most dynamic / most rounded CMs haven't played together. Would love to see them 2 with a base of schweinsteiger pulling the strings.
Herrera played as a 10 didn't he?
I think Van Gaal is realising we need goals and is opting for Fellaini.
It's funny as for ages people were saying we don't need 2 holding midfielder so LVG goes with Carrick and Fellaini and we lose the great defensive cover we were getting but nothings changed on the other end of the pitch.
I can see the logic in what he's trying but it hasn't worked. Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger/Carrick and Herrera has to be given a run of 5 games as a midfield 3 to see how well it can pay off.

Yeah, definitely. Really failed to find the right balance in midfield all season and we haven't even tried the most obvious 3.
It's actually insane our two most dynamic and combative midfielders have only started together once.
Some say Plato forbade it.
The mental and the physical are two different things, after all. Who needs mobility and grit if they lack the process.
He chose the wrong midfielder to drop, that's the problem. Schneiderlin needs to always play. As does Herrera in midfield. Van Gaal went with fellaini so we can go with long balls to beat the press on occasion, like we did last year. Don't think he'd be put in for goals when he hasn't been scoring much this year
I agree he chose the wrong midfielder. Fellaini should never ever be in a deeper position for a club like United.

feck off I wanna understand this
Just teasing on the fact of the 'philosophy' - Plato is one of the most famous philosophers of all time.
Like most people on here I was so excited about signing this guy but he seems to have been a shadow of his Southampton self for us 
Is it just a case of what Fergie always used to say about certain players not being "United players" mentally?

I think he's been decent when played.
Mostly solid and reliable performances which is what you want. Occasional top class performances and a few disappointing ones.
I can't understand why he hasn't been starting of late. Should be back in the team for Chelsea without a doubt.
Is everyone ignoring the fact that he may still not be 100% fit yet? Only logical reason really. He's not played since West Ham (iirc) but has had to be on the bench since, well...else we won't have 7 players to fill it.
But we've missed him, just like we seem to miss everyone once they're injured. I'd love to see Valencia and Rojo at fullback now.

Schneiderlin played 70 minutes against Swansea, but didn't play at all in the other 4 defeats in the Premier League. He didn't play against PSV (bench) or Wolfsburg (injured against them) either. So basically he has played 70 minutes in our 7 defeats this season. Another master stroke from Van Gaal...
He loves Fellaini. Long balls and all that.
One player (of many) who'd benefit from a change of Manager.
Van Gaal's use of him has been terrible, in terms of the games he's played in not positionally.

Man Utd 0:0 Chelsea
Been our best player.
Yup, he just dominates the midfield, doesn't give anyone a moment to think.
Am I missing something or wasn't the reason he didn't play much over the last few weeks was because he was injured?
We look so much better with him in the team
Schneiderlin has to start every game for us. He brings so much more bite and stability to the midfield it's insane.
Hopefully people can stop saying he's been underwhelming now. He has a specific job on the pitch, and he does it very well. He gives the two centre backs great support, something which we've not had for weeks. It's no coincidence that we keep clean sheet the moment he starts again.
Great player.
Him, De Gea and Smalling should be automatic starters when fit.
I know some have issues with his passing but in our current situation and with our current options what he offers when we aren't in posession is vital, he's the only CM we have that can cover the ground.
Definitely some issues with his passing but he has to play purely because we are so much more solid when he is in the team.
Thread title is such a WUM
He's great and should start every game when fit.
He can be a right cnut, flying into tackles.
I like that, though. Better than moping up and down the pitch with no purpose

Schneiderlin should be starting every game. He's in his peak and no need to rest him. Players like that need to be playing regularly to get and keep their intensity. We should be rotating BFS and Carrick alongside him.
