Irons United hopes get a boost if this is true

|

LVGaalNow I obviously understand that it’s dangerous to believe what one reads in The Sun but should it be true, there’s a story in there this morning which will give the Irons all the more hope of a huge result tomorrow night.

It’s not a hard story to write of course but the down market tabloid declares that all dressing room confidence in LVG disappeared totally after the weekend defeat in north London.

It reports that “Louis Van Gaal pinned the blame on his Manchester United players when he started making tactical changes at half-time against Tottenham and adds that when the got back to the dressing room after Sunday’s 3-0 mauling at White Hart Lane they had turned on the manager.”

The ‘report’ says: “Respect for Van Gaal, supposedly one of the great managerial minds, has gone. These players are openly questioning him, wondering out loud how the club can seriously keep him beyond the end of the season.”

At the same time as this there are reports that Wayne Rooney could be back tomorrow night after an appearance in the youth team when surely he can hardly be ready after several months out.

But never mind, it’s all good news for us Irons who should be pretty confident of a result in our present form anyway.
