Louis van Gaal given good news ahead of Man United’s huge FA Cup clash on Friday
MANCHESTER UNITED manager Louis van Gaal has been boosted by Matteo Darmian’s availability following a worrying looking injury.
Matteo Darmian has played the full 90 minutes in just nine of Manchester United's 23 league games
The full-back was forced to be substituted during Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton at Old Trafford.
However, a swift return to the team looks set for Darmian ahead of a potentially troubling trip to Championship outfit Derby on Friday night in the FA Cup.
Italy international Darmian tweeted that he was "fine” after being taken to hospital "spitting blood" from a rib injury suffered in a hefty collision with the Saints’ Shane Long.
