“If you got to Manchester United, that’s what you get”.

Manchester United’s manager Louis van Gaal had a crucial role in convincing the board to sign Germany global Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich in the close season, the Dutchman has said.
“I have told the players the top four will be very hard now”, said the United manager, whose team are six points behind Manchester City, who are in the final Champions League spot.
“We know it wasn’t good enough today”, Rooney said.
In the end, Robson agreed to let Van Gaal take over and he stayed at Barca on his manager’s salary but under a new title of chief scout worldwide. Yet, the 20-time champions – on 41 points – have never had fewer points after 26 games of a Premier League season. You get an very bad lot of media attention.
“But we’re going on the pitch”.
Matteo Darmian’s injury added to United’s woes on Wearside yesterday and the club have confirmed the Italian has dislocated his shoulder – ruling him out for several weeks.
The Reds’ boss is of the opinion that even though they’ve lost a lot of important points, they need to look ahead and prepare for the upcoming Premier League and Europa league fixtures. But the owner of the flat wants to move back in and the van Gaals have now taken only a short-term lease on a £1.4million mansion in nearby Bowden.
Moyes was Alex Ferguson’s replacement when the club great called time on a trophy-laden 27 years in charge in 2013. We want to be in the top four and now it will be very hard.
“Obviously the Champions League is massive for this club and it was disappointing to go out of it”.
“We didn’t keep the ball”.
“It will be hard for us to make the top four now, we know that”.
“We needed to win this game”. It’s not where we wanted to be at the start of the season.
