Man United players trying their best for van Gaal – Carrick
Goals from Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic condemned United to a fourth straight defeat and made it seven games without a win for Van Gaal’s men.

Leicester lost 1-0 at Anfield, their first away defeat of the campaign, with Christian Benteke sliding home a 63rd-minute victor after coming on to replace the injured Divock Origi before half-time.
Van Gaal lamented his players’ inability to handle the pressure, and partly blamed the windy conditions at Stoke. “But in the end my players have to do that by themselves”.
“It’s more hard because I am also part of the four matches we have lost, so people are looking at me”.
“We didn’t dare to play the football that we can and I have analysed it as a outcome of the circumstances: the pressure that you have to cope with as a player group, as an individual player”, he said.
For Stoke’s fist goal Depay, deep in the left-back position and seemingly untroubled, inexplicably leaped at the ball to header it back to David De Gea.
Van Gaal must decide whether to restore captain Wayne Rooney to his side for the Chelsea game, who began the game at Stoke on the substitutes bench. But a combination of poor finishing and Jack Butland’s saves prevented United from leaving Stoke with anything.
A squad containing so many stars should not – in theory – be so mentally fragile, but Van Gaal believes it can happen to the best of players. We did not play our way of football.
“I hope we have Kun (Aguero) 100 percent fit next week”, said Pellegrini.
Watford came from behind after conceding from Diego Costa’s volley to take the lead at Stamford Bridge. “At the moment it is tough to take and it is going to hurt for a couple of days”.
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace rose one place to fifth after drawing 0-0 at Bournemouth.
While bottom club Aston Villa – nine points from safety – and second-bottom Sunderland – four points better off – are at risk of being cut adrift, just three points separate third-bottom Newcastle United and 13th-place West Bromwich Albion, who face off at The Hawthorns.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes had spoken this week of his days as a marauding United striker under Alex Ferguson when the side approached every game expecting to win it and he would have been surprised by his side’s early dominance.
