| Van Gaal has backed Luke Shaw to return for Manchester United before the end of the season |
And he has given him the incentive of playing in the Europa League final – should Manchester United get there.
That also opens the possibility of being in Roy Hodgson's England squad for the European Championship finals this summer.
Shaw started the seaosn in superb form but has been out of action since mid-September with a double fracture of his right leg suffered against PSV Eindhoven.
He is half-way through his recovery period and making good progress - and Van Gaal is keen to keep the left back’s spirits up as he steps up his rehabilitation.
He said: “I've told Luke he can play the Europa League final - that is a goal that he has to live for. In my opinion it is not impossible. It gives him the spirit [to come back].”
