“And when you can taste it in Old Trafford because of all the yelling, it’s not good for my players”.

The fans showed their displeasure on Tuesday night with loud boos when Anthony Martial was replaced by Marouane Fellaini as United chased a goal against CSKA Moscow.
United, nevertheless, were back to winning ways in the midweek Champions League game against CSKA Moscow after Wayne Rooney ended his recent goal drought with the only strike of the match. Because Wayne is a fantastic player the expectation is much higher than another player in another club, I can imagine that.
“It’s better to whistle the manager”.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has called upon the club’s supporters to get behind his players.
Van Gaal will be hoping for a comprehensive victory on Saturday at home to West Brom to quell the dissenters.
Van Gaal accepts his side need to score more. “I can cope with it because I have had a lot of experience of it”.
“I think we have attacked 85 minutes of the 90 so we have given a lot of entertainment”, Van Gaal said. At Barcelona I had the white handkerchiefs and I had the same at Bayern Munich. “Today it was different, that is how we must continue”. “I certainly learnt a lot in the year that I spent with him as coach, things that I will take with me on in my career”.
But he urged United supporters to get behind their players during matches and direct any anger or frustration towards him, rather than them. “Matteo Darmian is suspended so he can not play and Valencia is injured”, Van Gaal told MUTV.
City produced arguably their best European display under Manuel Pellegrini, as goals from Raheem Sterling, Fernandinho and Wilfried Bony gave them a 3-1 win over Sevilla in Group D.
United went into the last two global breaks on the back of defeats and the Dutchman does not want a repeat this time.

Why did they lose the games at Swansea and Arsenal? “It is bad”, Van Gaal said. West Brom have played five away games this season won three, lost one and drawn one, thats a terrific return and all five games have been under 2.5 goals which is testament to Pulis tactical ability to set up to be hard to play, especially on the road where the emphasis is on the home team to attack and West Brom have successfully used their pace to counter attack successfully.
