Louis van Gaal: ‘The Pressure Is Lowering’ After Improved Man Utd Performances

Manchester United fans will be hoping that Will Keane isn’t the only solution that Louis van Gaal has come up with to remedy his side’s lack of goals.

United beat Swansea 2-1 on Saturday to end an eight-game winless run – its longest in 26 years – and give manager Louis van Gaal some reprieve.

United manager Van Gaal has come under pressure in recent weeks, with the club enduring their worst run of form in over 25 years.

With the transfer window now open the pressure will be on Van Gaal and the well published Chief Executive Ed Woodward to get the right player in. But that it also dependable on whether or not we score goals. The three central midfielders at United, Michael Carrick, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin do not create enough chances for the team.

“We sell more jerseys than expected; the foreign share is 60 per cent. We are satisfied, even if the actual way of playing of Man United is not exactly that what we want to see”.

“They’re not used to that and I’m not used to that – losing four matches in a row”. “Unfortunately, he couldn’t score against Chelsea (in a 0-0 draw), but I think he will be very happy today”.

Mourinho allegedly rejected both approaches, however, as he is keen to take over at Manchester United this summer should the Old Trafford post become available.

As his performance against Swansea illustrated, Martial is more than good enough to be a part of United’s present.

In a worrying statement for Van Gaal’s doubters, the Dutchman insisted his team played better in the first half than the second, when they found the net twice.

Anthony Martial’s performance for Manchester United in the 2-1 win vs. Swansea City evidenced the point that he’s now the one player in the squad who is capable of conjuring up game-changing moments.

“He does everything we expect from him as a captain, but also as a player”. I hope this is going to be the start of a good run of results.

They will not amuse Van Gaal, however, who has been vocal in deflecting criticism of his tenure.

“Now we are playing much more matches but still it is an achievement”.
