Current Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal is expected to leave the club at the end of this season and Mourinho is ready to take charge of the Premier League giants according to reports from Italy. “In the second half we controlled the game and did not give any chances to Stoke”.

“It will be good for him and good for me because when he scores we win”, said Van Gaal.
“Obviously, that was my main aim from when I was young, so to now be playing week in, week out in the Premier League for Manchester United is a dream come true”, he said.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says the key to his side’s performance against Stoke was Jesse Lingard’s first goal.

It was the first time the Red Devils had scored in the first half of a game in 12 attempts.
“They performed well not only defensively but now also attackingly because we have created a lot of chances and we have made fantastic finishing of team goals”.
Comparing it to the Spanish system, which he experienced when on loan with Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid’s B team (Castilla) last season, Varela describes the English set-up as “not very good”.
The pace of the match slowed from that point forward as both teams exchanged spells of possession, with Man United more than prepared to sit deep and frustrate Stoke’s attempts to get back into the match.
Mata, who probed the visiting defence all night, released Martial and the French youngster squared the ball to Rooney for a simple finish.
United launched a lightning break, bringing back memories of some of their finest football under Alex Ferguson, which ended with Rooney teeing up Martial to curl a superb right-footed shot into the top corner. “But Van Gaal doesn’t want to play with wingers”. “We have to play the game as we see it at the time, we showed great character to do that in the last game and were unfortunate not to get the result against Southampton but we bounced back against Derby and today against Stoke”.
“The worst thing that can happen at Old Trafford is to concede early”, said Stoke manager Mark Hughes, the former United striker.

“The difference is marked so we have to look at it and see why that happened”.
