Man Utd boss Van Gaal to AXE McNair for Everton trip

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is set to drop Paddy McNair for their trip to Everton.

The Mirror says Phil Jones is set to hand Van Gaal an injury boost by returning for Sunday's visit of Everton.

Van Gaal is said to be reluctant to use youth team defender McNair, 19, despite his impressive display in the 2-1 win over West Ham.

Although McNair did well, Van Gaal is said to feel it could be too much to ask the teenager to repeat that level of performance against the Toffees.
