Louis van Gaal admitted Manchester United fans were right to abuse the Red Devils after their season reached a new low with a humiliating defeat in Europa League.

Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea in December, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford at the end of the season; there were reports this month that United have already held talks with his representatives. They can do because when you see the second half maybe they are right.
The list of injury absentees grew to fourteen last night as star goalkeeper David De Gea injured himself in the warm-up, meaning second choice stopper Sergio Romero was forced to deputise at extremely short notice.
United were memorably thrashed 4-0 in the Capital One Cup last season at then-League One side MK Dons. We need to start rewarding these fans who travel this far and give us great support throughout the whole game.
“We saw that Midtjylland pressed high, as a team they worked very hard and I think we just didn’t match that”.
United will hand Mourinho £16 million-a-year, equivalent to £308 000-a-week, in a bid to revitalise the club’s flagging fortunes.
The return leg is on Thursday at Old Trafford but before then United travel to Shrewsbury. “The result and the performance have got to be a lot better”.
Carrick, United’s most experienced player and skipper in the absence of the Wayne Rooney, apologised to the 800 supporters who made the trip to Denmark and were not slow at voicing their opinion of their team’s performance after paying £71 for a ticket.
“Yes, I think it is the Law of Murphy”.
“At this point, I can call James Wilson back, but at this point I have possibilities with Will Keane and Anthony Martial”, Van Gaal said.
But Midtjylland equalised seven minutes later as Pione Sisto took advantage of a Michael Carrick mistake, before substitute Paul Onuachu fired in a fine strike 13 minutes from time, with United having done little to stop him.
“Hopefully, we will [win], we just have to be positive”.
“We agreed on this Saturday a few weeks ago, and yes, after a family day we will go to San Siro, with an “Interista” spirit, with the hope and the happiness to see Inter win”.

Van Gaal though, felt that they should have scored more and missed too many chances, and then in the second half he felt United lost every single duel which led to the defeat. We can’t perform like that and expect to win games.
