Louis van Gaal: ‘Jose Mourinho link to Man Utd is invented’

His double dab celebration on Super Bowl 50 day was memorable in front of the jubilant traveling United fans and it came just moments after Kurt Zouma had been stretchered off following what looked like a horrendous knee injury after he landed awkwardly. The Blues had barely reorganised their defensive line when left-back Cameron Borthwick-Jackson fired in a cross which skipper Wayne Rooney nodded down for youngster Jesse Lingard to spin aroundand hit on the turn, his well-taken strike shooting past a diving Thibaut Courtois to give the Red Devils the lead.

Guus Hiddink named the same starting XI for three successive Premier League games, with Eden Hazard again kept in reserve.

Terry’s contract expires at the end of the season but he’s keen to remain at Stamford Bridge, inidcating his desire to stay and fight at Chelsea after their draw with Manchester United.

United had been on course to move within 10 points of leaders Leicester and five points of second-placed Tottenham, but now Van Gaal’s men are 12 and seven points behind those two, respectively.

“Manchester United are not an easy team to beat, but we deserved a point”, said Hiddink. The club’s the most important thing. We had that as well, so I don’t like to go too much into other people’s kitchen. “He never buys the tickets himself, but he gets mates to buy them for him”.

On the performance and how United have played in the last few weeks, Mata added: “The main reason for change is results”.

The BBC and regional newspaper the Manchester Evening News reported on Friday that United have held preliminary talks with Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea in December. Coming here to Stamford Bridge and playing the football that we played in the first 30 minutes and in the second half as well.

Chelsea players felt they should have been given a first half penalty when John Terry goal bound shot looked like it has struck the hands of Daley Blind in the 8-yard box.

“Pedro did good training this morning and we will see how he reacts after an upper leg injury, but I don’t think there will be big problems”.

He said to Sky Sports: “To concede so late it feels like a defeat. You can say it is misfortune but it is not the first time this has happened because Newcastle also equalised in added time so we have to improve in that”.

Henry, who faced Terry numerous times during his distinguished career with Arsenal and Barcelona, said: “I can not understand why you are keeping that guy in the dark”.

He was even close to a winning goal in the sixth and last minute of stoppage time but was denied by the goalkeeper.
