| Memphis Depay scored United's opener against Watford |
FANCY Memphis Depay to knock one in tonight?
Well, with Paddy Power he's 11/2 to score first, with Manchester United 1/2 to beat PSV tonight in their Champions League clash.
A win for United tonight sees them into the last 16 - joining Manchester City.
And the bookies, who released their new 'Pocket Jostle' advert following the launch of their phone app, think United have got tonight in the bag.
But forget about knocking one out, you can get 11/2 for Memphis to knock one in first.
Memphis returned to the side on Saturday and scored against Watford in the absence of Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney.
Martial picked up a knock in the friendly for France against England while Rooney was ill.
And Van Gaal warned Rooney he isn't guaranteed a place back in the side straight away.
"No. It is not automatic (he comes straight back). It is always the decision of the manager," Van Gaal said.
"I will compare the players with each other and see how fit they are and how fit they show me in the training sessions.
"Fitness is the most important thing and he has to show his fitness.
"That's the same with Rooney, (Marouane) Fellaini and (Anthony) Martial.
"They need to show this on the training ground and then I will decide which ones fit into our game plan."
And Rio Ferdinand has called on Van Gaal to stick with Memphis tonight.
"When players start hitting a bit of form, you’ve got to keep them in the team but I think Memphis has had a sticky start to his Manchester United career," said BT Sport pundit Ferdinand.
"In the qualifiers he's done well, he was a big part as to why they qualified for the Champions League, but in the Premier League he’s not really set the world alight yet.
"But he got a nice goal at the weekend and he’ll be looking to build on that now I’m sure."
