I don't think Van Gaal does think he's a deep midfielder, which is why he doesn't play him there much. That was clearly why he had that spell out of the team last season, because they were trying to coach him better for that role. Don't think it's been very successful.
But I'd still have him there ahead of Fellaini, as anybody + Fellaini is not a midfield.
