Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed why he was hesitant to praise Morgan Schneiderlin
too much following their Manchester derby win .
The midfielder put in an excellent display during the Red Devils' 1-0 win at the Etihad, but Van Gaal was keen to play down the Frenchman's influence following the game, report the Manchester Evening News .
He said: "I don’t have to say that too loud because the last time I said I am very happy for Morgan Schneiderlin, after that he played not so well.
"But today he played a very good match. He was a lot of times available to receive the pass but also defensively was very firm and strict and he played also a very important position in midfield.
"I was very happy especially because I had to rotate. Fellaini could not play the fourth game in a row."
