You have to say one thing about Louis van Gaal.
We heard he was a stubborn old hoor, and by god he is that for sure in his latest job at Manchester United.
The former Bayern Munich manager is never willing to give an inch no matter how poorly his team played, or what woeful football his players are producing every week for the club since the start of the season.
It’s all about results for the Dutchman, even if hundreds of home fans left early on Saturday night and missed Wayne Rooney’s winning penalty in the FA Cup win over Sheffield United.
When United fans leave early, you know it's shit

Fans who did stick around were part of a motley crew who cheered sarcastically as the club recorded a shot on target in the 65th minute.
After the game Paul Scholes tore into the Dutchman once again, (yawn), and accused everyone inside Old Trafford, including LvG, of bring bored by the performance.
Today the Dutchman responded and came up with a weak reason for why fans may have left early,
“What do I do now? React to Paul Scholes? You want that?”
“They are thinking that we could not score, and maybe because of the traffic they decide to leave a few minutes earlier.”
“There are many reasons to leave the stadium. When I was looking at matches to analyse our opponents, then I would leave the stadium five minutes before. You never know the reason.”
Unless it was the traffic of the ball being passed sideways all the time we’re doubtful that was the reason.
Maybe things will be better against Newcastle, well that’s at least what van Gaal is hoping for
“We have won two times in a row and maybe it shall give us a boost. You never know. But now we are playing away, it’s also different and Newcastle United is playing very well I think. Ok, I see their game against Arsenal and they played very well.”
“But they didn’t win and that’s the most important thing in football. I don’t hope that they win against us. We have to beat them.”
