A report in the Independent on Sunday suggested that the former Chelsea boss had written a six-page letter outlining why he would be the right man to replace Louis van Gaal, as and when he leaves Old Trafford.

“I don’t think he’s found it that hard but the sheer competitiveness of English football is there for everyone to see”, Gill said of Van Gaal, who has previously coached the Netherlands, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

“We have also sold a lot of players”. I will never forget!
“I don’t know whether I was credited enough for what I did at QPR”, Austin added.
New signing Charlie Austin scored an 87th minute header to secure victory for the away side, who frustrated their opponents throughout the match with an organised performance.

“We’re fans as well as directors and we don’t want booing, we want cheering”, Gill said.
