REPORT: Unnamed Manchester United player says Louis van Gaal’s tactics aren’t ‘fair to the players or fans’

Civil unrest

The latest stories of discontentment amongst his players being leaked to the press will not please Louis van Gaal.

Having watched his Manchester United side blow what seemed liked a straightforward opportunity to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League, the unrest has begun.

Speaking to the BBC, the Daily Telegraph‘s Chief Football Correspondent Jason Burt revealed what he has been told by a member of the United playing staff:

“I spoke to one player at United who told me he is half the player he can be here at the moment because of the way they are playing,” Burt revealed.

“He doesn’t feel it is fair on him, he doesn’t feel it’s fair for the fans that he can’t express himself properly and he finds it very difficult to play here.”

United now face a difficult trip to Germany where they must win against Wolfsburg to ensure they progress into the next round of the Champions League – not an easy task when you look at the German side’s home record.
