Mauricio has many players at his disposal, he said: “We are very pleased and happy to have 24 or 25 players who deserve to play.
“It’s my job to select the right players in every game to try to win the game. It’s always difficult but at the end we are very happy because it’s important to keep all the squad motivated and fit. I think that increases our level.
“Always it’s about the team, it’s about a collective effort and I think if we want to achieve something at the end of the season, every single player will be very important for us. We want to keep the spirit that we have and that we show in every game.”

Januzae returns from

“I think Southampton have good players, but also a very wide squad,” van Gaal told MUTV.
“I think Southampton have good players, but also a very wide squad,” van Gaal told MUTV.
“They can play with a
lot of players and change the system, so you never know [how they will approach
the game].
“In the last two matches Ronald Koeman has changed his system, playing three defenders across the back and they have won with two clean sheets – maybe he has found the solution.”
“We have to play from ourselves and our quality," he said. "Of course it is easier when you know the line-up in advance, but we do not know that from Southampton.”.
“At this moment, I think that a win is always more important than how we have made the win,” the manager continued. “Against Liverpool I think it was only the win that was very important, and we have seen that."

ARSENAL
Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Chelsea:
on the latest updates…
Compared to last week we have no big problems from the squad that was available to face Stoke. The good news is that Ozil will certainly be available. For
Alexis the next few days will be decisive but I think this time he will make it to be available for selection.
on Alexis…......
The doubt is that he has been out for a long time and [there is] the risk of a setback if you try to go too early. To be clear on all the tests is one thing,
after he is clear on training is another thing, and after that the intensity of a big game which you can never repeat in a training session. You can make sure after a certain amount of time that the risk is minimal. I am cautious with him because we cannot afford a setback with him. A setback would mean a very long period out so we don’t want to take this gamble. The signs he has shown in training this week are positive.
on Coquelin, Welbeck and Rosicky…..
Coquelin is back in full training today and he is ahead of schedule. He has still a few steps to go through. Welbeck will be in full training next week so that is positive news. It is possible Rosicky will play in the under-21 game [on Friday]. He was a bit sick at the beginning of the week but we planned for him to play tomorrow night. We have a few players coming back because we go into a very important period now for us.
