The Manchester United manager has warned Juan Mata that his starting place in the team is not guaranteed.
The Spanish playmaker has been wonderful in his last two matches, but he has to continue to impress to keep his place in team.
Speaking about the number 10 position for United ahead of the match with Chelsea, Van Gaal said:
"I have already played Mata in
the same role. Maybe you remember that.
"It is not the coach or the manager, but when he is playing like he has been playing now, he shall play at No.10.
"We will have to see if he plays there on Sunday against Chelsea. Maybe I have another No.10 who is better than Mata – maybe Andreas Pereira is better."
Mata would be hoping to get the better of his former teammates, when United visit Stanford Bridge on Sunday.
