Van Gaal said he did not know whether captain Wayne Rooney will be fit to return from his knee injury after the international break. But the United manager’s selection problems pale in comparison to those troubling his City counterpart Manuel Pellegrini, who lost winger Raheem Sterling to a groin problem and goalkeeper Joe Hart to a calf injury.

At the other end of the table, Valencia remain just six points above the relegation after a third consecutive league defeat.
