Despite Manchester United’s goalscoring problems Van Gaal has overlooked the highly rated academy graduate this season.
Although new signing Anthony Martial has been a huge success at Old Trafford, Van Gaal’s other attacking options in the form of Wayne Rooney and Memphis Depay have failed miserably so far.
The young striker has impressed for United at the youth level and deserved a chance ahead of the misfiring duo of Depay and Rooney. However, Wilson has only appeared twice for Manchester United this season.
Earlier this season it seemed like Wilson would leave on loan in search of regular first team football.
