I think he is, he is at the club since 7 or 8 if i'm not mistaken.Is Wilson a local kid? I know he's come through the academy but is he Mancunian?

Nah he's from Biddulph which is basically Stoke on Trent. Not far, 45 minute drive.Is Wilson a local kid? I know he's come through the academy but is he Mancunian?
He's had another week of training since LVG said that. He should be getting there by now.Ffs How many time does Van Gaal have to say that Falcao ISN'T FIT ENOUGH TO PLAY MORE THEN 20 MINUTES ATM for people to stop calling for him to start?
Its beyond parody now.
Thats not going to help with his match fitness.He's had another week of training since LVG said that. He should be getting there by now.
Thanks.From the West Midlands
A few hours before the Falcao transfer, Wilson was rumoured to be considered 3rd choice and it was supposed to be the reason for Welbeck probable departure.Good news, his pace would potentially be very useful. Huge show of faith from Van Gaal.
Who would have ever imagined that Wilson would have had this much play time though, considering we only have the premier league and he is competing with Rooney, RvP and Falcao?
Yup, him starting games already occasionally shows how highly Van Gaal rates him.A few hours before the Falcao transfer, Wilson was rumoured to be considered 3rd choice and it was supposed to be the reason for Welbeck probable departure.
Not really, Mata was terrible against Southampton so it wouldn't be surprising if he was dropped, Rooney will probably play deeper because of this and Falcao isn't fit enough to start matches yet.Highly unlikely our 4th choice striker would start.
I suppose that's possible, although unlikely. You play your best players in the important fixtures and that's Rooney, RvP, Mata, Falcao, who are all likely to play since Di Maria is out.Not really, Mata was terrible against Southampton so it wouldn't be surprising if he was dropped, Rooney will probably play deeper because of this and Falcao isn't fit enough to start matches yet.
That's another reason Wilson might start though, as he's the only other attacking player in the squad that has proper pace.I suppose that's possible, although unlikely.

It would be more plausible if we were missing a striker, rather than a winger/midfielder.That's another reason Wilson might start though, as he's the only other attacking player in the squad that has proper pace.
The same people had news about Wilson starting against Stoke.Highly unlikely our 4th choice striker would start.
All depends on Van Gaal's tactics I suppose. Falcao's availability suggests it he will play.The same people had news about Wilson starting against Stoke.
As for it being a surprise, it's actually not - we badly need some pace and he's the quickest forward currently fit.
Well, it's between Wilson and Falcao if Van Gaal does drop Rooney back into midfield like I expect and I don't see Van Gaal starting Falcao against Liverpool when he's only played 20 minutes in the last month.It would be more plausible if we were missing a striker, rather than a winger/midfielder.
I think that was the plan, to gradually get Falcao back to full match fitness which is why he didn't start last week. He seems fully fit again, so this would be the ideal game for him to have a game.Well, it's between Wilson and Falcao if Van Gaal does drop Rooney back into midfield like I expect and I don't see Van Gaal starting Falcao against Liverpool when he's only played 20 minutes in the last month.
Exactly
Say all you want about passing in there, everyone knows it was the right thing to do, everyone knows like feck would they have passed it themselves had it been them there.
After than incredible run, doing it all himself, it would have taken extraordinary selflessness to pass there.Exactly!
Hope you're right . Times three.He'll score if he starts.
Quite likely I think. The main thing everyone took from the 3-0 was United's lack of pace and players to run at people. With Di Maria out its essential we have someone who can stretch them and stop them from playing a high line.Unlikely I think, though he would give us some pace.
Last big game Di Maria played he was used up front against Arsenal. Would make sense that we decided to use his pace on the counter like that and with his injury, another player who has speed and can carry the ball up the pitch would get the nod. Especially a player who is more at home playing the forward role than Di Maria himselfIt would be more plausible if we were missing a striker, rather than a winger/midfielder.
Who would you drop out for Wilson? Mata?Quite likely I think. The main thing everyone took from the 3-0 was United's lack of pace and players to run at people. With Di Maria out its essential we have someone who can stretch them and stop them from playing a high line.
If Wilson can do that, it means we can take control of the centre of the pitch and make it a very tiring day for their midfielders and in turn keep the ball away from the wings.

Yep, this. Without Di Maria, either Wilson or Januzaj needs to be on the pitch to give us some pace and penetration. And he's shown enough in his outings so far to deserve the chance.If rumours are true, and Wilson is to start today, then I think it would be the right call. With Di Maria missing, we have no one in the final third who runs with the ball with pace, as well as Wilson does, and because a 352, 442 diamond can be pretty narrow, at times, we need someone who can carry the ball.
Told you pace was the reason...All depends on Van Gaal's tactics I suppose. Falcao's availability suggests it he will play.
