THIERRY HENRY is unsure whether Louis van Gaal knows his players well enough.

| Thierry Henry believes Louis van Gaal has trust issues with his players |
Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Chelsea made it eight games without a win for the Red Devils.
The Dutch boss has been under pressure to turn around United's fortunes and has been criticised for his team selections.
Van Gaal has experimented with a number of different starting XI's with youngsters Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Guillermo Varela featuring ahead of Phil Jones and Ashley Young.
He also made a controversial decision to start Wayne Rooney on the bench for their clash with Stoke last week - the first time the club captain had been dropped for a Premier League match in almost two years.
Ashley Young, Anthony Martial and Marcos Rojo have all been played in different positions this season, and former Arsenal great Henry believes Van Gaal's decisions show that he doesn't trust some of his squad members.
"Does he know his squad? Does he know who he wants to play? At times they are a bit too rigid, too predictable, it's not the Manchester United I know," Henry said.
"They were looking for goals and pace, and they got that in Anthony Martial. He scored goals, and then suddenly he's on the left, another day on the right.
"Ashley Young one day is left winger, then right back, then left back. [Marcos] Rojo starts, then suddenly he doesn't start for a month, and then he comes back.
"Daley Blind is the guy, and then suddenly he's not the guy anymore. I think he doesn't know his team, he doesn't trust guys yet."
