Man Utd boss Van Gaal confirms Darmian injury

The 2-1 defeat at Arsenal in 2007 was particularly surreal since United conceded both goals in the last seven minutes.

Darmian’s injury is the latest setback for Louis van Gaal, who is already without a series of first-team defenders.

Saturday’s loss means that United could end the weekend a full 15 points behind leaders Leicester, with the Red Devils hoping for a Tottenham win over Manchester City on Sunday to leave Champions League qualification “just” six points ahead of them.

Louis van Gaal admits he has had no calls from Jose Mourinho as Manchester United’s horror season took another turn for the worse on Saturday.

“The Europa League is easier (to qualify for the Champions League) but also not so easy, because there you have a fantastic European level in that Cup, so you have to fight for it”.

Many felt Van Gaal had sorted United’s defence this season. Now many of you are the ones saying he should lose his job.

Despite some standout results since the beginning of the year, such as wins over Liverpool, Swansea and Stoke City, United are most likely going to have to go the long way around if they are to compete in Europe’s premier club competition next season.

“If you got to Manchester United, that’s what you get”.

The former Torino defender clashed with Wahbi Khazri and was duly replaced by debutant Donald Love.

“But we can only blame ourselves because the aggression of Sunderland was much higher than our aggression and we could not cope with the pressure on the ball in our own half”.
