Van Gaal calls for United’s immediate revival post Bournemouth loss

Van Gaal is under contract until 2017 but faces an uncertain future amid increasing fan frustration. “I spent five years there (at Old Trafford)”, King said. I really want to pay tribute to his family and how he played, and how courageous he was in his performance. “It is not as easy as everybody thinks”. “If that team played week in, week out they’d be in relegation trouble”, Redknapp wrote in his Daily Mail column. Van Gaal needs a trophy to prove it has not just been two wasted years.

Crystal Palace continued their best start to a Premier League season with Yohan Cabaye’s goal earning a 1-0 home win over Southampton and elevating them to sixth, six points off the lead.

The former Crystal Palace man had two golden chances to seal all three points again but blazed wildly over on both occasions. A draw would have flattered United.

“Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti will be available this summer and the question is will they be able to do a better job than Van Gaal”, Ferdinand said.

United were captained by Michael Carrick in the shock loss, and the stand-in skipper said injuries were not an excuse for his side.

“He added: “We wanted to back it up and back-to-back wins in this league, like any league, are so important”.

The Mirror have a story suggesting that United are looking to make changes, by booting out Van Gaal and replacing him with Carlo Ancelotti.

Bournemouth was not even the only humiliation of the week. “Manchester United is a corporate basket case; they’re out of the Champions League and may not be there next year and that puts a hole in their finances”.

Steadily as well, City is catching its more illustrious neighbor off the field.

United lost ground at the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday, with Guillermo Varela and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson among the starters for Louis van Gaal’s injury-hit side.

Unfortunately for United fans, The Cherries had other plans.

Still, things remained far from rosy for United.

Some reckon Van Gaal is out of ideas at the moment… Stanislas could have celebrated that reprieve by treating himself to another goal when United’s defence was bisected by a wonderful pass from Gosling.

They will drop to fifth in the Premier League if Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.
