With Radamel Falcao out with an injury, Louis van Gaal will probably go with Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney in starting XI in tomorrow’s Manchester Derby. He’ll put his two world class strikers up front in the attack with his usual diamond formation behind them. Man City has had plenty of defensive issues lately, so this needs to be a match up that Van Gaal must exploit if United are to pull off the big upset at The Etihad.
Denis Law one of the most decorated players in the history of the red side of Manchester, believes that Van Persie and Rooney are two of the world’s best strikers.

‘It’s an incredible boost to have Rooney back,’ Law said.
‘He and Van Persie are two of the best strikers in the world really. I would love to play with them,” he continued.
