Louis van Gaal has vowed to fight until the end as Manchester United look to sneak Champions League qualification on the final weekend of the Premier League season. Last Tuesday was the 21st time the Red Devils failed to score in the first half in the Premier League: 11 of those games were at home.

Although as Van Gaal says, “We are in the final of the FA Cup and we are in the race (for the top four) in the last match”.
“Louis van Gaal would have a strong case to say I’ve progressed this team from previous year in terms of winning a trophy and qualifying for the Champions League”. 2015/16 has been even worse for Manchester United, as they are most likely to finish fifth this time. “I think players don’t want to play for him”, Bolt said.

Woodward went on to describe the outlay of over £250million since Van Gaal’s appointment as “re-tooling” and said he believes that expenditure on players will decrease in the coming years.
If United fail to beat Bournemouth, the Reds will set a new club record for fewest wins in a Premier League season.
Mourinho, who trounced Van Gaal’s assistant Ryan Giggs in local polls among fanzines and on the M.E.N. website on who should become the next United manager, was confident of seeing off the Welshman to replace Van Gaal in March, despite aggressive support for Giggs among United greats.
“I supported Manchester United for years”, Bolt said on Friday.
Roy Hodgson names his provisional squad for the tournament on Monday and national-team skipper Rooney – who knows a thing or two about bursting through as a teenager – has been impressed by the academy graduate.
“As we reflect on our season, we are delighted by the emergence of yet another crop of exciting young players that demonstrate once again our terrific track record of youth development”, Woodward added.
“I have also given players rest and I have won”, he said. Here are reasons why Louis van Gaal should step down at the end of the season.

“We only had one other contract that had a penalty clause in it and that is the Chevrolet contract”.
