I saw a few reports last weekend saying the club are happy with him but I’m not sure why. At the moment we are in the top four, we are there. “The referee couldn’t see it, so we move on”. A club as Manchester United has to win.

-Of all United managers, only Lal Hilditch in 1926-27 (14.3%) has drawn a higher proportion of league games 0-0 than Louis van Gaal (13.2% – 7/53).
“The manager is getting a lot of criticism and a lot of the players are hiding behind that”, Keane told ITV Sport. I can say that in advance but nobody hears me because they don’t want to hear.
‘You enjoy it more and your fitness is better.
Top managers don’t have a magic wand.
With all things duly taken into account, the charismatic Dutch tactician could have potentially been sacked a long time ago for his failure to restore the glory days back to Old Trafford – if it hadn’t been for his previous reputation in the European managerial circuit.
Speaking at a news conference in Belgrade, Schmeichel defended Van Gaal’s style, which has been criticised by many fans and pundits as boring. He then got them there. “They would consider themselves in a very good position to win the league this season”.

Had Liverpool and Tottenham been classed among the non-seeded teams, the draw could have thrown up plenty of arduous journeys.
“They are one of the elite, aren’t they?”
Some have lambasted United’s unimaginative approach under Van Gaal, and he argued that “of course you will criticise”, per Winterburn. The game has changed. “But you have to work very hard and I am working very hard and my players are working very hard and doing everything we can do”.
They had one shot on target against West Ham. He is largely experienced in the Premier league and should not be overlooked.
The Scot’s successor at the DW Stadium, Uwe Rosler, also talked Powell up and spoke of the transition in the player’s game in a season he was regularly asked to fill in up front. If you do that in the current climate you run a massive risk. Jan Molby never did that.
Neville oversaw his first match as Valencia boss on Wednesday evening, with the Spanish side suffering elimination after Lyon’s 2-0 victory consigned them to third place in their group.

United’s academy coach Warren Joyce agrees the 21-year-old can play in an advanced role, and has used him there in recent reserves games.
