Louis van Gaal makes shocking Manchester United admission to infuriate fans

Maybe the traffic. There are many reasons why someone might leave early.

However, the 64-year-old Dutch coach, who was named as David Moyes’s permanent successor in May 2014, has finally conceded that his United side have even bored him at times throughout the 2015/16 season.

Following the trip to St James’ Park, United then take on Liverpool on Sunday and Van Gaal hinted he may rotate his squad in order to allow players sufficient rest.

“Maybe (because) we haven’t scored”. Van Gaal also has “enjoyed some matches as well, especially against Chelsea”.

Van Gaal has however finally admitted that just like the fans, he himself has felt the performances of his team to be monotonous but the Dutchman has not failed to defend his team from the media whom he addressed as “very negative”. How many stadiums were like our stadium – full, I think? They were also a League One team playing at Old Trafford.

Manchester United managed just two shots on target against Sheffield.

Saivet said: “I am very happy to be here at Newcastle”.

Van Gaal was also quick to dismiss claims he is overly focused on the threat of their opponents, saying: “I’m not more concerned about the opposition, it’s part of the job. You never know the reason”, he said.

“We won the game which is the most important thing and I said to the boys before the match the only thing that counts is we are in the fourth round and we did it”.

“I don’t take risks and, because of that, we have a very young bench”.

But Van Gaal insists supporters should be happy with the way their team have returned to winning ways in recent weeks following a run of eight matches without victory.

Ours (Sheffield United) was defending with players behind the ball. “Until this moment, the players have not arrived so we have to wait and see”.

Meanwhile, the Manchester United boss also defended his style of management, revealing he does not stand on the touchline because he does not think it helps his players. We’ve seen nothing different now for the last six months. “That they were ironic I can imagine because I have said that also”, he said.
