Louis van Gaal :
On the subject of the inclusion of debutants Depay, Schneiderlin and Darmian, he says: “They were from the beginning there, more or less, so they can start. I’m very happy with them.”
Asked about the decision to leave out David De Gea, he explains: “We have tried everything to focus David De Gea on the match, but we have seen in the preparation period that it was very difficult for him, so we have decided - David and the staff - for him not to play. For the goalkeeper it is all about focu and concentration and it is a position that needs that. In spite of that David De Gea wants to play, but we think that it is better for him and for us that Romero should play.
“For me it is not normal that he should play [having just signed], but in these circumstances it was the best decision. It was a very difficult decision, because Sam Johnstone has played very well in the preparations.”
