“You can say it’s misfortune but that’s not the first time it’s happened to us”.
With Diego Costa’s equaliser coming in injury time – referred to as “Fergie time” in the days of the former United boss – Van Gaal was asked whether opposing teams, rather than his own, were the beneficiaries of late heroics.
Van Gaal however praised the performance of his players despite the disappointing draw.
He said of his current unemployment, “I am not enjoying it. To be fully happy I need everything, so I go back to football”.
“When you see this match you can only say we deserved to win, but we didn’t win and it is happening a lot of times”. What is your name, so I can announce the name also?
“I think we played a superb game until the last quarter”. It is a pity because we had the chance to score more goals.
United striker Wayne Rooney remains the player most likely to cause Chelsea trouble today.
“It’s not easy but it was better than a year ago, which was 1-0 then”.
“We were the better team but, again, we didn’t win”.
Mourinho is the bookies favourite to be the next United manager, even though Van Gaal dismissed this as “nonsense”, reported SkySports. We were unlucky that we got the goal against us, it was unbelievable.
“They’re hard ones for the referee, inside the box it’s going in, it’s got to be a penalty for me”, Terry said.
“OK. So you didn’t speak to Ed Woodward, not with [Manchester United owners] the Glazers and you are inventing a story”, Van Gaal said.
“He [De Gea] was remarkable because they were almost goals I think”. Then I have to answer that question.
He was quoted as saying by the BBC: “I can not believe that because I have seen what is happening in the past two months and it was hard for me, my wife, kids, grandchildren and friends to cope with that”.
Ramsey was also the architect of Arsenal’s second goal a minute later, slipping a pass wide to the overlapping Oxlade-Chamberlain, who drilled a low shot in off the left-hand post for his first away goal in five years.
