Carrick: Manchester United players are fighting for Van Gaal

The value in backing an away win at 2/1 is further diminished when one accounts for the fact that United have only lost three of their last 25 home league fixtures, winning 17, and the Red Devils have drawn three of their last four at home against Chelsea.

Pittsburgh Steelers v. Baltimore Ravens NFL football game today
Kicker Justin Tucker proved to be a key part of the equation for the Ravens as he hit a 50 yard field goal and sank another. The Steelers had the opportunity to further solidify a playoff position with a victory over the bottom-feeding Ravens.

“You can single anybody out when you are in these situations, but the only way to get through this is to work hard, stick together and keep believing it will turn for us, and it has to turn for us in the next game”.

Two of those came from rookie outside linebacker Nate Orchard, who showed the pass rushing skill he demonstrated at Utah. If the Niners are playing for their jobs at the end of this season, Sunday’s game should bring about a mass layoff.

There are questions over whether his recent struggles – just two goals in 14 Premier League matches – is the result of the 30-year-old being physically exhausted but those close to the club say he is simply tired of Van Gaal’s tactics. But that is something that I speak with Ed Woodward by himself and not with you and I don’t have to say that to you. “I have been doing my best to try and find a solution but once the players are out on the pitch they have to do it by themselves”.

Peake recently shared a playlist on music streaming service Spotify revealing all of the songs he will be listening to in space. Peake will be Britain’s first astronaut to go to the International Space Station (ISS) and this will be his first mission.

United did, however, end a run of four defeats in a row – but whether that’s enough to save the Dutchman’s job remains to be seen. If things go wrong again here, the ill feeling from the stands will be all too evident.

Following defeat for leaders Leicester at Liverpool, the Gunners could have taken over at the top with a fourth straight league win in Boxing Day’s evening kick-off.

Manchester City reignited their title challenge by bouncing back from Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Arsenal with a breezy 4-1 win over second-bottom Sunderland that left them three points off the summit.

At White Hart Lane Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham beat Norwich 3-0.

Tom Carroll was also on target.

Chelsea are still searching for some positivity under Guus Hiddink and are still languishing down in the lower reaches of the table as they gear up for this one after a 2-2 draw with Watford on Saturday.

John Obi Mikel, who replaced Fabregas midway through Saturday’s draw with Watford, started at Old Trafford while Kurt Zouma came into defence in place of the injured Gary Cahill.

Oscar had a chance to give Chelsea victory when substitute Eden Hazard was fouled by Valon Behrami, but the Brazilian slipped as he took his penalty and sent the ball looping into the crowd.

Nevertheless, the dropped points mean that Chelsea are still in deep trouble, languishing in 15th position. Crystal Palace are meanwhile up to fifth after a stalemate with AFC Bournemouth, who extended their unbeaten record to six games. Hiddink, who has since begun his second reign as Chelsea’s interim manager, may not even see Depay play on Monday.
