<p>United’s pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s late kick-off with Liverpool will give the Dutchman the chance to give his version of the David de Gea transfer saga, amongst other things.</p>
<p>De Gea – who has not played this season as a result of Real Madrid’s interest &#8211; looked set for a deadline-day move until a last-minute hitch scuppered the deal.</p>

<p>Reports on Thursday night said that the Spain goalkeeper was now in talks to extend his contract at Old Trafford, which currently runs until the end of the season.</p>
<p>There is now also a chance that De Gea will come into Van Gaal’s thinking for the Liverpool game.</p>
<p>Van Gaal will also likely be asked about new recruit Anthony Martial – who he was quoted on Thursday as saying cost “a ridiculous amount of money” – while some reports have said Van Gaal has been told by senior players that his training methods are stifling their creativity.</p>
<p>United did not wish to comment on that report from The Times on Thursday, but Van Gaal may well be probed in person.</p>
<p>On the field, Luke Shaw believes he is playing the best football of his career after a tough first season.<br />
The 20-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to the season with both United and England having struggled in his debut year at Old Trafford.</p>
<p>Shaw moved to United from Southampton last summer for £30million to become the most expensive teenager in football – a record since smashed when the Red Devils moved for Martial for £36million on transfer deadline day.</p>
<p>But, despite starring for Saints in his breakthrough season, a number of injuries and a poor run of form saw him make just 15 Premier League starts as Daley Blind became Louis van Gaal’s first-choice left-back.</p>
<p>This season he has hit the ground running for both club and country and is pleased to have turned things around.</p>
<p>”Obviously last season was very difficult for me,” he said.</p>
<p>”I just feel fresh and fit and hopefully I can get a run of games now and keep my performances up. I trained before I went back to pre-season. That was a massive help to me and now I just want to keep on playing well.</p>

<p>&#8220;It was made hard with the injuries that I picked up. I didn’t expect that to happen as much as it did.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that is what knocked my confidence down, I never got fully fit, so whenever I was playing I wasn’t at my best and I didn’t feel at my best. Now I am playing and I feel great.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be honest I feel better than I did at Southampton. Game by game I feel like I’m getting stronger, especially in training. I just want to keep it up now and pray there are no injuries.”</p>
