Van Gaal: I am the man to win silverware for Man Utd

Man U will try to make the best of a bad week when they go up against AFC Bournemouth on December 12, reports ITV.

Anything less, despite the number of injuries that United are now having to contend with, and there will be serious questions asked over whether van Gaal is the right man to lead the club moving forward.

“The facts are this – we are out of the group stage, yes, I am very sorry”. “The mindset now is that we have to work harder”. Despite a good start and an early Martial goal, Wolfsburg managed to turn over the game and inflict Manchester a heavy defeat. “Next year, all the clubs in the Premier League have a bigger budget than most of the clubs in Europe”.

Lee Tomlin and on-loan Christian Atsu have returned to training but need to build up their fitness levels. “We’re creating a lot of chances”.

United face a trip to struggling Bournemouth on Saturday evening as they look to strengthen their challenge at the top of the Premier League. “That’s the beauty of the game – when one game is done you’re looking to the next”, Howe said. So in a way he’s correct, United will win fewer things, it’s just that it’s mainly his fault that’s the case this season.

Former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan says the clock is ticking on Louis van Gaal following the club’s exit from the Champions League.

Fans were left angered by Van Gaal’s decision to substitute Juan Mata during the crucial game against Wolfsburg, while the Dutchman has made many more freakish decisions during his tenure at Old Trafford. But Van Gaal launched an impassioned defence of his management at his weekly press conference. You can lose and win in sport, you have to accept it. Now we have much more clubs who have the money also the structure to win something. “The problem is that we have to meet with the expectations and at a club like this, they are very high”. Or do you think Manchester will get back to winning? “My board, I think, have also done everything”, he added.

“First, I have to speak with Ryan Giggs by himself when it is true”.

The likes of Chris Smalling, Matteo Darmian, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw are all sidelined through injury, while further forward Ander Herrera and Wayne Rooney are also now unavailable.

Van Gaal says the 42-year-old has not spoken about the opening at Swansea.
