Van Gaal defends style after West Ham draw
The Red Devils couldn’t find a way past West Ham United’s stubborn defence on Saturday after a goalless draw with Slaven Bilic’s Hammers side at Old Trafford.

If you were to watch highlights of Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with West Ham, you might come away with different impression of the game than someone who was obliged to sit through the whole thing.
And we know the other players can do it, it’s just that Van Gaal won’t allow them to for most of the match. They want to score every minute and you can not. That is always more hard, but nevertheless we have created a lot of chances, more than the last matches, I think, so the most important aspect of football, we didn’t do.
Yet, it was another game in which Van Gaal’s team dominated possession, but created few chances in a typically mundane performance.
Reds fans were heard booing the team off the pitch following the final whistle and van Gaal says he can understand their frustrations but insists that goals will come.
And Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is getting exhausted of it. I can not say we played bad.
While the visitor also created their fair share of opportunities to score, Manchester United’s Anthony Martial, Marouane Fellaini, Juan Mata and Bastian Schweinsteiger all missed genuine opportunities to give the lead to the home side.
I think it has been a massive improvement in terms off style off play.
“We can beat anyone on our day, but normally we are not good enough to win the Champions League, but we shall try to do everything”.
Both Giggs, who the club believe has developed impressively under Van Gaal, and Neville are also thought to tick numerous boxes required to take the hot seat of the 13-time Premier League champions.
United’s home defensive record is their best at this stage of a season since 1994-95, but their goal continued to live a charmed life at the start of the second half as West Ham, growing in confidence while United’s appeared to wane, again should have gone front.
The boardroom belief is that there is no widespread dissatisfaction with Van Gaal among United fans. You have to finish and that’s the only problem we have.
“I hope they can play on Tuesday but it’s a big question mark”, Van Gaal told MUTV. Who they will sign is another question, and neither Suarez nor Aguero will be making a move to United this winter.
Rooney is the longest-serving player at the club, he’s within touching distance of being the team’s all-time leading scorer, yet at the age of 30, Manchester United’s No. 10 looks like a shadow of his former self.

United were already without six sidelined players, and saw their problems increase as the midfielder and the defender could join Wayne Rooney, Ander Herrera, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia among their absentees.
