Nah, that doesn't mean anything. I initially thought it meant that he was pretty much out by now but then I noticed that RvP and Evra aren't there either. I'm guessing any player who got passed the group stages gets to rest during the tour. edit. Forgot that Evra asked to be moved but I believe my point still stands.
If he wants to start, he needs to pack up his shit and go. If that offer from Aston Villa is still there, take it.
If Cheech is going to stay he needed this pre season tour to prove Van Gaal his worth. RVP has nothing to prove, just getting some rest. Btw Evra being rumored to be pursued by Juve, although there's nothing official on it.
januzaj and fellaini are missing as well. anyone who got past the group stages are getting an extra break. will join in a week or 2.
I thought Man U has said that they didn't want to sell him. If Van Gaal has left him off the team because they're negotiating his transfer then we should be hearing something soon. Either way, the best thing for him is find a team that will give him constant playing time.
Isn't Evra going to Juventus or something? Also, Cheech played like a total of 40 minutes, and was bounced out of the WC about a month ago. I understand RVP not being there, but Cheech is on the bubble. Anyway, that roster looks like shit, just like last year's.
I don't know if this is the case, you seem to know, maybe you have a quote. All in all, if Van Gaal had his say, I don't think he would favor this money making BS tour, and if anyone was smart enough they would include Cheech for a tour in the US where Mexico is the most popular sports team. /p
Cheech is screwed. He needed to be on the tour to make an impression on Van Gaal http://www.espnfc.com/manchester-united/story/1953465/louis-van-gaal-names-man-utd-preseason-squad
Right, because scoring against powerhouses such as the LA Galaxy should be enough to convince Van Gaal that he should start over Van Persie or Rooney.
Who's to say Cheech didn't tell Van Gaal to fack off. He has seemed pretty upset with his career over the past year with comments like, "No one has had confidence in me this year", " I am more than a bench player", "I would have loved to help Man U but I didn't get enough minutes this year", etc. Man U without Cheech will be a worse team. Especially if they plan to to play with 2 strikers(they'd need to keep Cheech or find a suitable replacement). I think Van Gaal will do better than Moyes, but he will not have Man Utd playing good football. He could barely get Holland playing well and they have much stronger squad than Man U. They need still need need a "world class" winger and someone to hold the midfield together. Until then they'll continue to be mediocre Cheech or no Cheech.
What about the other teams they are playing? Roma, Inter and Real Madrid? And none of the United players that made the knockout stages have travelled but are supposed to join the tour at a later date.
I think van Gaal set a line for everyone: you go past the group stages and you join at a later date. Januzaj didn't play and he's also not joining until later.
Hello everyone, I haven't been on here for a while, but the world cup got my fever going again... My boss and I will be at the ManU vs LA Galaxy next week. I'm disappointed to hear Javier won't be in the pre-season tour. Even more disappointing is todays news. "One glaring name not present on the roster, however, is that of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. Swirling rumors of his possible departure from Old Trafford were confirmed on Friday. With his omission, the Mexican international does not appear to be a part of van Gaal's plans moving forward." http://bit.ly/1yD3eKe I wished they would provide a source on how they confirmed this? Saludos, Jesse
He's merely speculating based on his exclusion from the tour (without taking into account that this applies to everyone who went farther than the group stage) just like half of BSMX. Some sources should be completely abolished based on their lack of thought and accountability.
