Van Gaal not anxious about Pep

“Their [United’s] idea was that he [Guardiola] didn’t have the Premier League experience that they thought was essential, which I think is an atrocious idea”.

According to the Daily Mail, Ancelotti refused because he was already in negotiations with Bayern Munich to take over from Pep Guardiola in the summer of 2016. Reports claim that Ancelotti has made the right-back one of his top targets with the view to reinforce the star studded Bayern team.

FA Cup is a competition that is widely believed to have saved Sir Alex Ferguson’s job in 1990 after a run of similarly poor results to van Gaal’s.

Louis van Gaal responded to Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer on Friday.

Since then United’s inability to score early in games has been indicative of their lifeless, languid displays under Louis Van Gaal.

The Red Devils reached the quarter finals last season before they were dumped out by eventual winners Arsenal, but will be looking to go all the way to Wembley this time around.

Adkins said: “On behalf of the players, staff and all at Sheffield United, I’d like to thank Sky Bet and The Football League for this Manager of the Month award”.

Ashley Young was also taken off in that game as a precaution, but is fit to face the Blades, whilst Jesse Lingard returns after five games out with a hamstring injury. It remains to be seen whether Keane would be of the required quality to succeed with the first team in tough competitions such as the Premier League, English FA Cup and UEFA Europa League.
