Man Utd boss Van Gaal explains Rojo, Lingard absence

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal delivered an injury update after their 1-1 draw at Leicester City.

Van Gaal was without the services of defender Marcos Rojo and winger Jesse Lingard for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester City, after the pair sustained injuries during the week.

The manager said: “I could not play with them. Lingard was a player in good shape so it was a pity.

“Rojo is our left defender and that's also a pity because then I have to put my players in a different shape and different organisation. Because of that, I had to play with three defenders."
