Premier League: Manchester United set to start with Juan Mata at No 10 v Everton

 

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says it is likely that Juan Mata will fill in for the suspended Wayne Rooney against Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday.

And youngster Paddy McNair will again line up in defence as van Gaal continues to grapple with a lengthy injury list.


United have eight players out due to injury and Rooney is banned for the visit of his former club after he was sent off during last week’s 2-1 win over West Ham.
Van Gaal said: “I will miss Wayne because he is the captain of the team but Mata can also play very well.
