Van Gaal to decide on players' future after United tour
Louis van Gaal is set to decide on the future of his players after Manchester United end their pre-season tour of the United States.
The Red Devils will take on Liverpool in the International Champions Cup final in Miami on Tuesday morning (Singapore time).
While van Gaal remains unbeaten since taking over the United hot seat with wins over the LA Galaxy, AS Roma, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, United's players remain on trial for the Dutchman, who has vowed to give his players a chance to impress in pre-season.
The future of a number of players like Nani, Javier Hernandez and Marouane Fellaini remains in the balance after a season of discontent under former manager David Moyes.
The manager revealed that he will make the crucial decision after the showdown with their fiercest English Premier League rivals.
Judgment
Van Gaal said: "I shall make judgments after the tour. I have let all the players play so I know now more than I did before.
"But in football you have to judge. Always you have to give a chance to a player to make a transfer when you see that his perspective is not so high to play.
"You have to say it in advance. When you say it on Aug 31, it's too late. I shall say to the players what I think after the tour."
He also revealed that star striker Robin van Persie is unlikely to be fit in time for United's league opener against Swansea on Aug 16 due to his extended break following Holland's third-place finish at the World Cup.
