Beckham: I’ve Heard Only Good Things About Van Gaal

Manchester United fans have been gravely concerned this season that they might end up without a trophy for the third season in a row! “There is a lot of history and many hard games against sides like this one and I think we did well from the beginning and that was key”.

A 1-0 win or any victory by two clear goals will be enough to see United progress to the last-16 phase of the competition, which should be more than achievable against the Danish minnows.

United’s tough task has been made harder as LVG’s side are blighted by injuries.

United’s success over the Shrews came at a cost, however, as Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Will Keane were both forced off through injury.

Adnan Januzaj also misses out due to being cup-tied after representing Borussia Dortmund earlier in the season.

Of course, winning the Europa League now guarantees you a place in the following season’s Champions League, but first of all United must turn around this tie.

“They were very committed, they performed our game-plan very well and the effect was we were ahead 2-0 at half-time”.

It is a privilege for me, coming from Africa as a young player and being coached by a great manager like Guus Hiddink so I am proud of that.

United had more encouraging fitness news as Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Adnan Januzaj all returned to first-team training on Thursday, but Rojo is the only one with a chance of featuring against Midtjylland. There were three United players standing in an offside position before the free-kick was taken.

“We have to disorganise their organisation so we have to be very creative”.

Memphis Depay conceded this week that he has failed to live up to expectations since his move from PSV to United past year, but Van Gaal defended the winger from accusations that he has struggled to cope with the pace of English football.

“I saw the game, and I saw the goal and the things he said afterwards”, said the 46-year-old.
