Then the Cougars took it away in the second, limiting UM to minus-13 rushing yards and just 21 total yards in 13 plays. The offense wasn’t dynamic by any stretch, but the Hurricanes were moving the ball pretty well in the fourth quarter.
“I do my utmost best to find solutions to cope with the pressure”, Van Gaal said.

With the 71-yard TD pass to Brandin Cooks, Brees tied Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers with the most 70-yard TD passes (16)… The Saints did just that with a 38-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday in the Mercedes Benz Superdome.
“I can also quit by myself”, Van Gaal said when asked about receiving assurances about his job security, before adding: “It is not always … the club has to fire or sack me”.
Van Gaal has been given two games to save his job – away at Stoke this afternoon and then the home clash with Chelsea on Monday. “That is something I speak to (vice chairman) Ed Woodward (about) by himself – not with you (reporters)”.
It was a hapless first-half performance, and Van Gaal questioned why his players “don’t dare to play football”. “I don’t think that is the sequence”.
However, it wasn’t enough to avoid another defeat and it remains to be seen how long Van Gaal is given to turn the situation around, or if the club hierarchy opt to replace him and try to make the most of their season with renewed focus and commitment.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes had spoken this week of his days as a marauding United striker under Alex Ferguson when the side approached every game expecting to win it and he would have been surprised by his side’s early dominance.
Wayne Rooney was forced to start a league game on the bench for the first time in two years, and United provided a greater threat only with its captain on the field in the second half.
Depay’s mind seemed to be on another planet when he sent a downward header back toward goalkeeper David de Gea in an attempt to clear Geoff Cameron’s deep ball.
“It was a bad goal to give away”, Van Gaal said. “But in the end my players have to do that by themselves”. Krkic’s free kick was blocked by the United wall but the ball came back out to the edge of the penalty area and Arnautovic’s powerful strike beat De Gea.
