It could be taken as an indication that standards are rising once again at Manchester United. Winning at all costs is the club's mantra, as it used to be.
But the Dutchman's very strong team selection for the meeting with the Cypriots - and indeed his unwillingness to make changes generally for the Europa League - also raises concerns.
