Recent News from Old Trafford is that the long time injured Marcus Rojo might feature on Thursday's  Europa League Second Leg Match against Midtjylland.

 Marcos Rojo has been missing in action for more than a month now and with our defence showing a little weakness recently we will need a little bit of reinforcement for the remainder of the season.
                 
De Gea got injured during training before last weeks Europa League Match and was not able to participate in the Match against Midtjylland which forced Coach Louis Van Gaal to call on Second choice Goalkeeper Sergio Romero. De Gea might still be out for a few more matches which creates more playing time for Romero. 


INJURY UPDATE ON DE GEA, ROJO AND VALENCIA
Louis van Gaal has confirmed that David De Gea will miss Manchester United’s Europa League clash with FC Midtjylland on Thursday, but Marcos Rojo will return to the bench.
De Gea suffered an injury during the warm-up for last Thursday’s Round of 32 first leg against the Danish champions, which forced Sergio Romero to step up with just minutes to go until kick-off. Although the Spaniard's problem is not thought to be serious, he has been ruled out for now.
Asked if David will feature at Old Trafford during Wednesday's pre-match press conference at Old Trafford, van Gaal said: "I was hoping for that but he shall not be involved, that is already certain."
On a more positive note, van Gaal revealed Rojo will return to the matchday squad on Thursday - although the Argentinian defender can only play for 20 minutes as a substitute if needed. 
Antonio Valencia has also been training individually as part of his recovery programme but the Ecuador international is not yet available for selection, the manager explained on Wednesday.  
"Valencia didn’t train with our first squad, only individually as part of his own programme," van Gaal told MUTV. "Rojo has only trained with the second team yesterday and today with the first squad so he’s on the bench but is only good for 20 minutes or something like that."
Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Adnan Januzaj (cup tied) and Will Keane are all set to miss out. Chris Smalling did not train with the group on Wednesday and it remains unclear whether he will feature.
Van Gaal also confirmed to MUTV that young striker Marcus Rashford is in his thoughts with Rooney and Keane both sidelined. "He is the option at this moment for this position," he added

As a result of further investigations carried out, statistical and visible evidence has presented the reality that the Manchester United men's team in some aspects of the 2022/23 season has continued to show signs of struggle even with all three midfielders present on the pitch for Manchester United with the presence of Christian Eriksen operating in the number 8 position showing signs of difficulty and inconsistency for most of the season for Manchester United. With the recurring pressure the Danish midfielder receives in the midfield, Christian Eriksen has displayed the decision to roam around different areas of the pitch with the intent of finding pockets of space to deliver a pass which the Danish midfielder has displayed himself to be one of the best uh delivering keys from pocket to space.        The midfield issue for Erik Ten Hag's current Manchester United team stems from the fact that with Christian Eriksen choosing to roam around the pitch to find space, the Danish
