“United have Nick Powell playing up front for them”. “That’s the most important thing”.

“Coming from Manchester United and having five years there, I’ve moved on now, but to get a goal against my old club means a lot”, he added.
“I think that we have the selection to do that (win the league), but we are now in a very hard position, ” said Van Gaal.
“For us, it’s a brilliant week”, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said.
“It is a rare error, but I think David knows that better than me”.
Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre believes Ryan Giggs is the front-runner to replace Louis van Gaal. “When I was at the club, the priority was always the Champions League, then the Premier League”, said Forlan, speaking to the National. Only now it is more hard for players to do that. They have created, in the second half, only chances out of set-plays and we have also created chances out of play on the pitch.

Van Gaal’s squad is certainly broken – but his decisions here did little to paper over any cracks. “We fought for the win, but with ten men at the end [after injuries] we couldn’t do more than what we have done”. I don’t talk about the past.
‘The 10 games I played I thought I played very well apart from Leicester [a 5-3 away defeat].
It’s not just about the amount you spend, though, it is the players you spend it on. You have seen that. You have to sniff that and we didn’t and it was a goal.
‘I like to enjoy myself, to try things and do stuff.
“The difference is not so big any more”.
