Man Utd boss Van Gaal admits Wilson pushing for start

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is pleased with what he's seen from James Wilson.

The teen is pushing for a start against Crystal Palace.

Asked by MUTV if Wilson was pressing for a second start in the top flight, following last May's two-goal debut against Hull City, van Gaal replied: "From what I have seen this season, [yes], but he was also injured a few times.

"He has already been knocking on the door for a long time, that I have said in many press conferences. That is not only because he substituted Robin van Persie in the last match. I believe in him but he has competition with [Radamel] Falcao and Robin van Persie."
