Louis van Gaal hopes for turning point for United and Wayne Rooney
Manchester United’s manager Louis van Gaal waves as he takes to the touchline before the English …

“I think the first half was a better half than the second”, he said.
Again Young was involved in a telling capacity as his cross was perfectly delivered for Martial, who had drifted into a more central position, to score with a powerful downward header from eight yards which bounced up and past Lukasz Fabianski to give the young Frenchman his eighth goal of the season.
Something of a siege mentality developed at Old Trafford during their slump.
“That is why I am proud they can do it under this pressure”.
And the playing staff were also angered by their own performances on the pitch, Van Gaal revealed.
Van Gaal was baffled by the official’s decision to add four minutes on at the end of the game given it was Swansea who were wasting time when the score was level at 1-1.
“They’re not used to that and I’m not used to that – losing four matches in a row”. Never, and I have been in this profession for 25 years.
“So it’s unusual and they’re angry and want to change the situation”.
At long last, the Old Trafford faithful could finally cheer a victory.
Swansea were quite content to sit back and soak up the pressure, with the hope of catching them on the counter with the pace of Andre Ayew and Wayne Routledge.
The hosts did not register a shot on target until the 33rd minute and only two more weak efforts followed before the break. And the manager was rewarded when Young provided an assist for Anthony Martial’s second-half opener on Saturday.
You have to say, of course, now we are playing much more matches but it is still a fantastic achievement. “He trained this morning with a group of players”, Curtis said.
Second-place Leicester failed to keep pace with Arsenal after being held to 0-0 at home by 10-man Bournemouth and is now without a win in three games, fulfilling many pundits’ predictions that their surprisingly strong start to the season wouldn’t last.
Young helped provided an attacking threat but with only one out-and-out striker in Rooney, United still found genuine chances hard to come by before half-time.
England’s all-time top scorer moved up to second on the United all-time scoring list when he produced an audacious flick to score United’s victor against Swansea. “I think, especially in the last couple of games, we’ve fought hard and we need to kick on like we did today”.
“He’s a terrific player and I’m glad we’ve got him”.

“That is our problem”, van Gaal said about goalscoring. Van Gaal also allowed youngster James Wilson to go out on loan – leaving skipper Wayne Rooney and 20-year-old Premier League rookie Anthony Martial as his only recognised forwards.
