Louis van Gaal faces Wayne Rooney decision, Bastian Schweinsteiger set to return
Van Gaal’s grim post-match press conference was evidence to the fact that he was under intense pressure to hold on to his job at the club.

“The club doesn’t have to fire or sack me – sometimes I do it by myself”, the downbeat former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager told reporters.
“And in the second half, in half time, I have said that to my players, we had nothing to lose and then you can cope better with that and that you have seen in the second half that it was not good enough”, he added.
The position of Van Gaal has fallen under extreme scrutiny since, with many in the media suggesting United’s poor performances are a result of poor support from his players, but Carrick has strongly denied such accusations. United lacked all three of these qualities throughout the match.
“I took a touch, shot, goal … what can I say?” he said.
“I am not so interested in public sayings”.
Stoke City’s Bojan Krkic celebrates with Marko Arnautovic after scoring against Manchester United on Saturday. “It’s like that, and the pressure of the environment shall increase so it is much more hard. It is very hard to do that in just two days but we shall try”. “It is for every individual player, for every human being, it is different in how they cope with it. And it is not so easy”.
Louis van Gaal has urged Manchester United to “dare to play football” when they host Chelsea in what could prove a pivotal game in the manager’s Old Trafford career.
Van Gaal, who says he could quit, was at United’s training ground on Sunday.
“On today’s evidence, the players are not willing”. He will be safety first, everyone will sit in and they can’t really buy a goal at the moment.
“His players are without doubt not performing at all so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he were to walk away”.
Fellow pundit Danny Murphy said he believed the Dutchman would not quit the club.
“With Jose Mourinho you’re guaranteed trophies and Pep Guardiola is the same”.
They continued to look the more threatening going forward, with David de Gea making crucial saves to prevent both Arnautovic and Bojan getting on the scoresheet again. It hurts badly, ‘ said the midfielder, who captained the side at Stoke as Wayne Rooney was dropped to the bench.
