Watch Manchester United vs Chelsea Live Streaming Online Free: Manchester United take on Chelsea in the Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Monday, 28 December.
For this game, though, Van Gaal vs. Hiddink will have to take undercard billing to Van Gaal's fight for his future. That is surely the main event here.

Overview
United are struggling as they suffered their fourth consecutive defeat at the hands of Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on 26 December. It is for the first time in 12 years the Red Devils have lost on Boxing Day.
Two first-half goals gave Mark Hughes's side three points as United struggled to trouble Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland. Bastian Schweinsteiger will return after serving a three-match ban and he could partner Morgan Schneiderlin in the midfield against the Blues.
Louis van Gaal's future at Old Trafford remains uncertain as the Dutchman admitted that he could leave the club, before his employers could show him the exit door. Sacked Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is a reported target for United, should they sack Van Gaal.
Chelsea come into the fixture after they failed to beat Watford at Stamford Bridge. The match ended in a 2-2 draw and the Premier League winners had a chance to seal three points, only for Oscar to miss a chance to score from a penalty spot.
The Blues' new manager Guus Hiddink managed his first game against Watford and the clash against United will be his first away match of his second spell at Chelsea. He will be hoping to pile more worries on his compatriot by walking away from Old Trafford with three points.

Team News
The Telegraph reported "midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger returns from suspension for the game against the Blues and defender Matteo Darmian has a chance of making his return from a hamstring injury, but Jesse Lingard (hamstring), Marcos Rojo (shoulder), Antonio Valencia (foot) and Luke Shaw (leg) are out."
The paper went on to say that Chelsea will be without Diego Costa, who is suspended for picking up a fifth yellow card of the season in the 2-2 draw with Watford on Boxing Day. It also stated "Eden Hazard and Jon Obi Mikel came on as substitutes against Watford so are in contention to start—possibly at the expense of Cesc Fabregas, who came off at half-time."
After the disaster of the performance against Stoke, Van Gaal has to make some changes. The above lineup sees Marouane Fellaini dropped and Wayne Rooney returned to the starting XI. The most effective way to accommodate Rooney and Ander Herrera is to play Rooney up front with Anthony Martial moved out wide.
There are numerous other options available to Van Gaal, but the above looks like a decent balance between attacking potency and defensive structure, neither of which has been in evidence of late.
The above shows one of the options for which Hiddink could elect. With Oscar having struggled against Watford, he could perhaps give Hazard a chance at No. 10, allowing him to stick with the pace of Pedro and Willian on the flanks. Hazard could also be preferred to Pedro with Oscar in the centre.
