Take a risk on players being 100% fit

That is what looks like being the case with goalkeeper and star man of the season David De Gea this weekend.

The Spaniard has claimed he is 80% sure he can play, but along with Angel Di Maria who also picked up a knock, how fit can he actually be?

Louis van Gaal may well have to bite the bullet and risk starting players who are not at the peak of their physical condition.

He has very few other options.
