“I am not interested in who is vulnerable. I am only interested that we win our games and then we shall see which team is the most vulnerable, because we have to close that gap,” said Van Gaal,

United play Everton in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday and Van Gaal is looking for Wayne Rooney to prove his form and fitness tomorrow night in his third game back from injury to secure his starting place against his former club at Wembley.

Van Gaal added: “He has trained today and he has recovered, so we have to see how he is feeling in the second half against Crystal Palace. Ans still he has to play good.”
