Man United: Old boy lifts lid on United exit

Rio Ferdinand has slammed Manchester United head coach Louis Van Gaal, which sounded like a warning for the stubborn Dutchman.

Van Gaal’s men are in fourth place in the table but six points behind surprise Premier League leaders Leicester City. There aren’t many places on the pitch where you can easily forecast at least an above average group of Premier League players a couple of years down the line.

Instead, Giggs is wondering whether to show interest in the vacancy at Swansea City or to pledge his support to van Gaal.

Michael Carrick insists Manchester United must start winning games if they are to again strike fear into their opponents. Hernandez was never given much of a chance under Louis van Gaal really, and the prowess that Chicharito displayed today has now sent Twitter ablaze.

Yet in Hernandez, Wilson, Di Maria, Shinji Kagawa, Evans et al – not to mention the injured Danny Welbeck – United fans have more than enough sticks with which to beat the under-pressure manager.

It’s not all doom and gloom at Old Trafford, and the defensively solid team are still firmly in the title race, but the sale of the popular striker and United’s resulting problems mean patience is certainly wearing thin in some quarters. “I’ll always remember how Real Madrid fans said that I should have played more”. He had written: “I was able to keep reinforcing the ideology that no club was bigger than United – no matter whether their owner controlled all the oil in the Persian Gulf or every coal mine in Russian Federation”. “I had a couple of rows with him”.

Hernandez ended a five-year stay at Old Trafford in the summer by signing for Bayer Leverkusen on a three-year deal.

“The board told me I could go on loan to Real Madrid and it was not a hard decision for me”.

So which ones have moved on to brighter pastures? talkSPORT takes a look…

Often, I get the feeling that we’re all fools as far as he is concerned and whether that is affectation or not, it is anything but endearing and will produce an opposite reaction In people.
