“Louis van Gaal is hugely experienced and has been at the big clubs before”.
“Van Gaal is very keen on telling us that they have done what they have trained, so praising himself”, said Schmeichel.
Overall, Liverpool FC had played a much better game than Manchester United, but the away side managed to nick a win right at the end, with a volley from Wayne Rooney.
“That will not be easy, as we saw today, but we can do it because we showed every week that we can do it”. United have been bad for the majority of the campaign and they were lucky to leave Anfield with three points on Sunday.
It is a game that would peak any football fans attention, that of Liverpool versus Manchester United, the two giants in the Premier league, unfortunately this game would fail to wet the fans appetites for the second half of the season.
The Telegraph have quotes from Van Gaal, who thinks that Manchester United are back in the title race.
Jürgen Klopp’s first taste of the famous Liverpool-Manchester United rivalry ended in disappointment with his team falling 1-0. They got the goal and there was not enough time to get back into the game.
The Liverpool captain, one of four players beaten in the air by Marouane Fellaini for Rooney’s goal, said: “I am sure teams will look at that”. “To be honest I didn’t know about the record, obviously it’s great to have records but I don’t think itwill break the feeling I got now, to score the winning goal at Anfeild”, Rooney said to Sky Sports after scoring the winning goal. United haven’t lost a game since then, but their style of play under Van Gaal has attracted severe criticism from various quarters.
“Ashley Young was a big question if he could play, we are overloading him a little bit because he has to play a lot of matches”, Van Gaal said.
But he returned to the starting XI for the 0-0 draw at home to Chelsea two days later, winning plaudits for his performance, and has scored five goals in four games in 2016.
“When the gap is like this, seven points, you can overcome that. I think he is a fantastic Manchester United striker for the media but he was also that in the first half of the season”.

United are fifth in the table after 22 games. “A lot of the things we did were good but our finishing wasn’t good”.
