Rooney disappointed to drop points

“We don’t speak anymore about Rooney”, Van Gaal said.

They missed a golden opportunity to go level on points with Tottenham in fourth and many feel they needed the three points ahead of their tough away trip to Anfield on Sunday. We can win this game as well and we can lose it. I think it is a good result for both teams. We have to blame ourselves because we could have finished this game much earlier.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney was left to lament his side’s defensive display against Newcastle United.

“We re always trying to create chances”, said the England striker.

United’s inability to finish off the game means they now have just one win from their last eight EPL matches and van Gaal admitted that he is frustrated with his players.

Manchester United need players that are capable of hurting the opposition, according to Pat Nevin. We could have made six goals.

Louis van Gaal finally sent a team out to score goals and they scored three.

“You can score as many goals as you want, but if you keep conceding goals, then it s a problem”.

“The referee gives a penalty for nothing – it is a duel I think and you can not decide who is worse – but we gave it away”.

After Chancel Mbemba conceded a dispute penalty in the first half and the Magpies were denied a spot-kick themselves, Dummett said: “It was a harsh penalty and we should have had a penalty in the first half when Daryl was fouled by Lingard”.

“It’s different football to what I played in Belgium”.

“People thought it would be a 0-0 and it was a classic at 3-3”.

The draw saw the Old Trafford club drop down to sixth place in the Premier League, and they are now two points off the Champions League places. “That is what we work on and try and do”.

That the delight comes despite dropping points to a relegation candidate while supposedly pursuing the Premier League crown says it all about the Red Devils’ performances thus far.

“We have been unlucky with penalties in the last 13 months as we haven’t had one”.
