Louis van Gaal Bemoans More Goals Conceded From Set Pieces

Rojo who was signed a year and four months ago from Portuguese side sporting Lisbon last featured for United in their goalless draw against PSV Eindhoven in the champions league at old Trafford.

Marouane Fellaini did manage to restore parity in the 24th minute but the Red Devils were again undone from a corner after half-time as Joshua King, a former Manchester United player, neatly side-footed home from a clever set-play to grab what would eventually prove the victor.

Josh King returned to haunt Manchester United yesterday as his goal earned Bournemouth a memorable 2-1 victory that completed a miserable week for Louis van Gaal’s beleaguered team. It is not new it is a matter of belief.

The last thing the Dutchman needed was for his injury-hit team to fall behind at Bournemouth – but that’s what happened inside two minutes from one of the most freakish goals of the season. “The cohesion between the manager and his staff and the players, that’s the most important thing”.

With this in mind, we’ve taken this moment to devise a list of the five biggest gripes Manchester United have with manager Louis van Gaal at the moment.

“They need to use their tools to lift them up and we have a lot to fight for, I think”.

And I had a feeling that we could win in the second half. “When the players want to perform in this way then I am always confident”. “Of course I have already spoken but it takes a long time”. They have done everything, but they have lost.

Manchester United are no closer to winning the Premier League now than they were under David Moyes, says Martin Lipton.

It completed a miserable week for Van Gaal having seen his side crash out of the Champions League at the group stage on Tuesday evening at the hands of Wolfsburg.

“Still they scored and also against Wolfsburg that was the reason we lost so it is a very strong lesson for us”.

“I think the three points were very important, more than the way we played”, said Pellegrini.

“We shall do everything to win something, but it is very hard”, he said.

“I don’t think it is because of that [injuries] we lost”. You never can tell that because you have to speak to all the players because we have an organisation and all the players have to do their job. You have to sniff that and we didn’t and it was a goal. That is the most important thing.

“I have given, in a situation of this match, my preference to Memphis Depay, or Jesse Lingard, or [Cameron] Borthwick-Jackson or [Guillermo] Varela”.

“McNair had cramp, he hasn’t played much this season”, United’s website quotes Van Gaal as saying.

“He showed real strength to keep his emotions in check, and I’ve got to say his team-mates rallied around him really well”.
