'They also had a good chance; we gave the ball away because McNair thought he was a striker at that moment and then the channels were open and they could run them.'

McNair was making his first start of the campaign in a five-man backline, sitting alongside Chris Smalling and Daley Blind in central defence, with Matteo Darmian and Ashley Young the wing backs.

But Van Gaal believes there is plenty of room for the 31-year-old to improve on his performances for the club so far.

“The reason why we have bought Schweinsteiger is because he’s a player who can lead and guide a team,” Van Gaal said.

“It’s not just because of his football abilities that we bought him. Until now we haven’t seen the best of Schweinsteiger, the player I saw at Bayern Munich.

“I believe that in every match we have played he could have played better.”

Can criticise a player who isn't captain for not leading on the pitch, but won't criticise the captain for not leading.
