Manchester United have one foot in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League after beating Club Brugge 3-1 in the first leg of the play-off tie at home.
Only a horrendous performance from the Red Devils can help the Belgian side progress and Louis van Gaal should make sure that does not happen.
As far as the team news is concerned, the Dutch manager may make a few changes in the starting XI that played against Newcastle United last weekend.
Marouane Fellaini did not feature in the opening 3 PL games due to suspension and made his only appearance in the first leg vs Brugge. The Belgian star scored a brilliant late goal to gift United a two goal advantage.
Louis van Gaal claimed that the former Everton star is going to be used upfront and not in midfield. Expect Fellaini to start in the No. 10 role behind Rooney.
Here is Man United’s probable XI vs Club Brugge.

That positioning is very wrong; If I was to be LVG I would make Chicharito as a main striker play infront of Rooney, meaning that I wouldn’t start with fellaini, but I would bring him in second half to replace Rooney.
wow, I can’t believe LvG is still experimenting after a whole season at United. I can’t believe we couldn’t sign any of those targets. Rooney will flourish only if we bring in quality signings like De Bruyne and Reus.
