Former England coach Glenn Hoddle has questioned Louis van Gaal's use of Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.
Hoddle wrote in the Mail on Sunday: "Van Gaal wants to play two up top and the versatility of Rooney means that he is the one to drop in to midfield, with Van Persie and Radamel Falcao as the strikers.
"I don't have a problem with Rooney in midfield. In fact, I think it can suit him and become his best position in the later stages of his career. But which part of the midfield do you play him?
"If he is one of the attacking players in a 4-3-3 formation, with at least one midfielder holding a defensive role, then I think he can thrive in that position. He has the licence to break into the box from the deeper positions and face the play, rather than have his back to goal. I think that could work to his advantage.
"He also has the vision to play great passes and pick out his team-mates from midfield, so I understand why Van Gaal wants him there. I can even see him at the tip of a diamond in midfield, but that seems to be the role for Di Maria."
