Jonny Evans: Hopes to be fit for Van Gaal's first PL game
Striker Robin van Persie is still short of fitness and will not be risked in Manchester United's season opener against Swansea on Saturday.
Michael Carrick (ankle), striker Danny Welbeck (knee), centre-half Jonny Evans, versatile midfielder Antonio Valencia (both leg) are out, but right-back Rafael has overcome a groin injury.
Left-back Luke Shaw (hamstring) is out for four weeks, so either Tyler Blackett or Reece James could play their first competitive game for the club.
Swansea welcome back Nathan Dyer and Wayne Routledge at Old Trafford.
Both wingers missed the Swans' final pre-season game at home to Villarreal last week - Routledge had a foot injury while Dyer was attending the birth of his son.
But Swansea boss Garry Monk is without knee-injury victims Leon Britton, Marvin Emnes and Jay Fulton for the trip to Old Trafford.
