But ever since the Scotsman’s departure, Untied have gone through a rollercoaster ride with former manager David Moyes and Van Gaal, who still hasn’t fully earned the trust of the supporters.

“A goal is the biggest influence in a game and I changed my approach at halftime because of that”.
“But you need also luck and today the luck was in the last minute of the first half”.
“Yes, but I have to say also the opponents wasted a lot of time and the referee was not reacting to that so it was also their own punishment”. “But I think it is about time and getting used to his technical way of working – the number of meetings, the training and the games”.

Schneiderlin joined United from Southampton during the close-season and has made eight appearances in all competitions so far for the current Premier League leaders.
