a It is also because they are very angry that we have lost so many games in a row,” the Dutchman explained.

a They are also not used to that, I’m not used to that, losing four matches in a row. Never, and I have been in this profession for 25 years. So it’s unusual and they are angry also and want to change the situation.a

Temporary ease in pressure

While Van Gaal reserved a few words of praise for Wayne Rooney, the Dutchman believes that Uniteda s recent win at Old Trafford had eased the pressure on the players and manager alike. Manchester United face a series of tricky fixtures following their FA Cup clash against Sheffield United at Old Trafford this Saturday.
