| Louis van Gaal says he will wait until Saturday to select his team to face Arsenal |
LOUIS VAN GAAL is worried his Manchester United squad is running out of gas.
The Red Devils beat Wolfsburg 2-1 in the Champions League last night to go four wins on the bounce.
They have played six games in three weeks and face Arsenal on Sunday (4pm), with a win potentially pushing them even further away from the pack at the top of the table.
But Van Gaal revealed that he isn't sure which of his players will be fit for the Emirates clash.
"The solution is recovery - recovery, recovery, recovery," he said.
"And that is why it is so difficult to prepare for the match against Arsenal.
"As a manager you want to prepare it on the pitch, but you cannot do it because the players need freshness. So then the other solution is to change your squad.
"So we have to see how the evaluation is of my fatigue specialist.
"I cannot tell that now, then tomorrow the players have a day off because they have already had two weeks with no day off. So we wait and see on Saturday. Then I can make decisions."
United beat Arsenal in north London 2-1 last season and in fact have not lost away to the Gunners in four games.
Arsenal, meanwhile, lost 3-2 to Olympiakos in midweek and boast two wins and three defeats from their last five outings.
