Van Gaal backs wounded United to bounce back
Last Saturday they breached the Stamford Bridge fortress of champions Chelsea, winning 1-0.

There had been more embarrassment earlier for United, when Junior Stanislas’ corner kick sailed directly into the far corner to give the hosts the lead. We live now. It is not only hard for Manchester United.
“I read the same things 20 years ago”.
“The world has changed”, stated Van Gaal. Only now it’s more hard. “My board, I think, have also done everything”, he added. That’s the past. You have the club to analyse now and compare it with ten years ago. Every club can also buy a player.
City has scored plenty of late goals this season – three came in the final 10 minutes against Borussia Moenchengladbach on Tuesday – and Iheanacho’s was the latest, albeit from a huge deflection.
Former United defender Rio Ferdinand labelled the drop into the Europa League as “embarrassing”, but Van Gaal insists it is a competition United will be looking to win.
Louis van Gaal has issued a warning that Manchester United should no longer be expected to win consistently.
Josh King scored against his former club as Bournemouth followed up victory over Chelsea by beating Manchester United at Dean Court.
Van Gaal received yet more bad news on Thursday when Bastian Schweinsteiger was banned for three matches for violent conduct following an elbow on Winston Reid in the 0-0 draw against West Ham last weekend. We have to stick together and prepare for our match against Norwich City and we have to win it otherwise it will be even more hard.
The game at Old Trafford will be crucial for Jose Mourinho’s side if they are to catch up with the league leaders and challenge for a top four place this season.
“They need to use their tools to lift them up and we have a lot to fight for, I think. Going out of the Champions League was obviously tough to take and we were very disappointed”, he said.
Van Gaal had nine first team regulars unavailable at Bournemouth and, with injuries ravaging their squad, particularly in defence, the defiant Dutchman was forced to name an inexperienced back line on the south coast. “But still we had the chances also in the second half”.
“The facts are this – we are out of the group stage, yes, I am very sorry”. I don’t talk about the past. You have to speak with all the players. I don’t want to mention them. The big Belgian bullied his way to United’s equaliser midway through the first half, after Memphis Depay’s shot had been parried by Cherries stopper Artur Boruc.
United lost both Jesse Lingard and Paddy McNair to injuries but left Ashley Young among the substitutes, instead opting to introduce Andreas Pereira and Phil Jones as replacements.
“Since the start of the season we have been a bit unlucky. I can say them but I don’t want to defend myself”.

“It is disappointing to lose two games in such an important week, but we are still in a good position”.
