Van Gaal admits time close to pass judgement on Man Utd players

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal admits he's almost ready to pass judgment on his players.

His assessment of the personnel for the Swansea City match and beyond will be formed after the Reds complete their US tour tomorrow against Liverpool.

"I shall make judgements after this tour because I have let all the players play and I know more than I did before the tour," said van Gaal at a pre-match press conference.

"It's a little bit soon to judge but in football you have to judge. You always have to give a chance to the player to make a transfer [to leave] when you see that his chances of playing are not high. You have to say it in advance because 31 August is too late. I shall say to the players what I think after this tour but not to you [the media]."
