Van Gaal found himself at the receiving end of critics after his side made an early exit from the Champions League following a 2-3 defeat against Wolfsburg. I don’t think it is of any benefit for me and the players.

United players have talked the talk this season, Schweinsteiger included, but they haven’t walked the walk enough.
But his claim that United can still win the title smacked of a manager deep in shock at how the campaign is falling apart. And I speak from experience, having won it with Atletico Madrid.
He said of the Wolfsburg match: “When I analyse that game, in the first half we missed so many chances”.
“And then to come to Bournemouth, we wanted to bounce back and we tried to bounce back and to fall short like we have is doubly disappointing”.
“But there was no doubt once I’d spoken to him that I was going to play him today”.
Bournemouth started in style again in the second-half as Simon Francis, man of the match at Chelsea, belied his position as a centre-back to dance through United’s defence like a seasoned winger and fire at De Gea.
“I think I probably prefer to focus on the week rather than the individual games”, said Howe. Every club can buy a major player. HollywoodLife.com has the live stream of their Premier league match!
“Two set plays and two goals you can not accept that as a manager, as a player, as a team because we pay a lot of attention to it”, he said.
Speaking at his weekly press conference, Louis van Gaal believes it is now harder for Manchester United to challenge for the title with the amount of money in the game, and the club can no longer be expected to win everything. Next year all the clubs in the Premier League will have a bigger budget than most clubs in Europe. The defenders also need to up their game from set-pieces…
Van Gaal revealed Young felt discomfort during Friday’s training session, adding greater concerns to what is already a significant injury list.
“As a manager, you have to work very hard and I am working very hard, as are my players. A year ago the fans showed their belief but for me the most important thing is the commitment of my players”. “I don’t think it is (that I am unable to)”.
In front of 11,500 fans in Bournemouth’s cramped and atmospheric Vitality Stadium, United went behind when Junior Stanislas’ curling corner kick sailed directly into the far corner.
