Van Gaal admits disappointed Manchester United fans have ‘right to boo’ him

Charlie Austin made a glorious start to his Southampton career when the striker’s superb late header earned the visitors a 1-0 win over a listless Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Manchester United have won 13 Premier League titles, with the last of those coming three years ago in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season in charge.

Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern have assembled with a heavy heart today, after another home defeat yesterday in the hands of Southampton saw pressure upon Louis Van Gaal rise significantly.

It would be wrong to say Saints played United off the park, but the team from the south coast looked the more likely team to find the net.

“Of course I am disappointed but I have to think and already I put the question how I can change this because we have to change this”.

Standard Liege winger Mathieu Dossevi does not believe his club needs to sign incoming goalkeeper Victor Valdes. We’re fans as well as directors and we don’t want booing, we want cheering.

“They are right, I can not deny that”.

With rumours of a replacement for van Gaal circulating the headlines – Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are just two huge names being hinted, as revealed by BBC Sport – van Gaal may be running out of time to turn the tide at Old Trafford.

“Our defence in set-plays was weaker because I changed Fellaini and after that I had to change Darmian”. “For me what we did in the past was great”.

‘I think, speaking to Alex over the years, and discussing his No 2s and their ability to be No 1, there are clearly different traits between being an excellent No 2 and being in the hot-seat as a No 1’.

Lengthy treatment for the Italian interrupted United’s most promising spell of the match, and Van Gaal offered the club’s lack of fit full-backs as a mitigating factor without disputing the crowd’s angry reaction.

For Crooks, the former Ajax and Bayern Munich boss has not come to terms with the Premier League and is yet to realise its fiercely competitive nature. They’re loving United under Van Gaal. “Now we have big competition in our squad and I have to make hard decisions”.
