Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has admitted he doesn’t know if he will be given time to turn things around at Old Trafford following their 2-1 defeat to Norwich City.

It is our first defeat at Old Trafford, that makes it remarkable. “You can see what confidence is doing to the players”, van Gaal is quoted as saying by the BBC. “Because of that I am – or maybe I have to say now, was – a very successful manager”. I always say something to the players.

United have already crashed out of the Champions League this season and now face the embarrassment of having to play in the Europa League.

Van Gaal’s side did little to calm their critics as they lost to Norwich, managing just two shots on target against a side who had won one of their previous 11 league matches. Anthony Martial scored a good goal and after that we created chances, but it was too late in the game I think.

United have lost their last three matches in all competitions and have gone six games without victory, while they now trail Premier League leaders Leicester City by nine points. I think it became pretty glum, if you like, under David Moyes and it was unfortunate. It is also confirmation that we are in a very bad period which we have to come out of.

In what was a must-win game for both sides it was the Canaries who picked up the win thanks to goals either side of half-time.

“That’s always happening, these questions, when things are going down”, he said.
