“You have to show it for 90 minutes against the resistance of the opponent and also under the pressure of the environment and the pressure you put yourself under”, said Van Gaal, who has lost all three of his previous games against the Swans by the same 2-1 scoreline.
Louis van Gaal should be given more time to build this team, feels David Moyes.
Van Gaal has been linked with a number of forwards, including Sadio Mane, Edinson Cavani and Yoshinori Muto, but the 64-year-old was reluctant to say he would spend big on a forward in the window.
The 77th-minute strike was Rooney’s first United goal in two months.
Van Gaal hadn’t seen United win since November 21, during which time the team has slipped out of the Champions League and the Premier League’s top four to leave the Dutchman’s position under threat. Smalling knows it will be far from easy against a side that has recorded three straight 2-1 wins over the Reds in the last two seasons.
United have managed just 10 goals in their last 14 games in all competitions. “We have found it to be a tough game and it’s often just a single goal that decides the game”. “That is a positive sign”.
Ashley Young has endured a frustrating time since joining United from Aston Villa in 2011, injuries and patchy form ensuring his Old Trafford career cannot yet be considered a success.
The goal sparked United into life, with the team’s passing becoming sharper and Ander Herrera shooting over, but Swansea nearly equalized when Andre Ayew headed Sigurdsson’s cross against the post in the 64th.
Swansea was causing problems down United’s left, where halftime substitute Matteo Darmian was being overrun, and the goal came from that flank.
