David Moyes throws full support behind Louis van Gaal

Under-fire Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was smiling once again as he joined his wife Truus for an early New Year’s Eve meal in the city centre.

If Louis Van Gaal really expects Will Keane to be part of the solution at Manchester United then things at the prestigious club may be worse than we all suspected.

“There are very few managers in the world who wouldn’t want to manage Manchester United”, he added.

The team’s dismal run of results – which has included them being dumped out of the Champions League in the group stages – has led to widespread speculation Van Gaal’s job is in jeopardy.

Van Gaal has overseen seven goalless draws this term and his team are five points adrift of fourth place with half the season to go but says he has no plans to quit.

Louis van Gaal is eager for a first win against his “ghost team” as Manchester United look to halt a three-game losing sequence against Swansea City in the Premier League.

The former Everton manager also said he was still unhappy about how his reign at Old Trafford ended.

Guus Hiddink was happy to take a point back to London given that he had to play Eden Hazard up front. It is always like that, then you continue with the same vicious circle of working.

United, seeking a first win in nine matches, are likely to be without Jesse Lingard (hamstring) for the game, while Luke Shaw (leg), Antonio Valencia (ankle) and Maros Rojo (shoulder) are definitely out.

Caretaker manager Alan Curtis has steadied a side who were plummeting into relegation trouble before Garry Monk was sacked earlier this month.

‘It was going to take time to rebuild.

With the opening of the January transfer window, there will be plenty of players in the spotlight as clubs prepare to relax the purse strings and splash out in the push for glory or simple survival. But you can not do that because a year has 12 months.

“I will know shortly which are those targets and which ones we are likely to bring in, if any”.

I have to say we have shots at the goal maybe in the first 45 minutes, but we are playing, certainly at home, like that in many matches.
