The under-pressure Manchester United boss knows he will be facing the axe if his side don’t beat Chelsea at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Stoke City beat United 2-0 on Saturday to push down Louis van Gaal’s men to the sixth spot in the EPL table.

“At Stoke we lost the game in the first half because we didn’t dare to play our football”.

It is believed that van Gaal indicated to the United board after last week’s loss to Norwich that he was prepared to step down if they wanted him to do so, but was urged to continue.

“It’s a setback because (Costa’s) now increasing his performance”, Hiddink said. Jose Mourinho has let it be known he is available for work following his sacking by Chelsea.

“He is out for United, with a fifth [booking]”.

“I try to do everything but every match the pressure shall be higher and higher and we have to solve that problem”.

Christian Benteke’s second-half goal sealed the points at Anfield as Leicester suffered their first league defeat since September when they lost to Arsenal. “I can complain a lot.but that’s not my nature, we have to go on and find a solution as soon as possible, but it’s a setback”.

“(He responded) like a very good professional”, Van Gaal said.

“No, I don’t think so because I have seen that also in my other jobs, ” he said when asked if he expected his team to be mentally stronger. At the moment it is tough to take and it is going to hurt for a couple of days. But sometimes you have to look for the balance.

“I can also quit by myself”, Van Gaal said. “I am the one who wants to speak first”.

Leicester remained top despite their first away defeat of the campaign, but on Tuesday face a taxing home game against third-place Manchester City, who returned to form on Saturday by crushing Sunderland 4-1.

He had described the match as “must-win”, but his side were deservedly beaten 2-0 at a windswept Stoke on Saturday night (AEDT).
