The press treating him like Fergie won't help them in the long run, he's done nothing of note in England and doesn't deserve preferential treatment, he'll soon resort to banning them for asking "uncomfortable" questions like Lord Buckfast did.

When does he storm out for being asked about maybe losing a game right before he goes and loses the game?

ouis van Gaal tells [HASHTAG]#MUTV[/HASHTAG] that United have no new injuries from last night's game. Luke Shaw was not risked due to a tight hamstring.

Van Gaal: "Luke Shaw missed the game with a tight hamstring. We don't take risks with any players."

Van Gaal tells [HASHTAG]#MUTV[/HASHTAG] that victory at Newcastle was #mufc's best away display this season: "We deserved the win - we were so dominant."

"We're in a rat race in the Premier League & whoever wins on Monday will have good momentum for the league games," van Gaal tells reporters.

On Jonny Evans allegedly spitting at Papiss Cisse on Monday: “As I’ve said in last night’s press conference, Jonny was not aware that he was spitting. It’s a natural thing for a human being, it wasn’t his intention. I cannot imagine that Jonny Evans could do something like that, and he’s also said that. I believe him, so the matter is done. I think the FA is very wise.”

Van Gaal: "When you win, it has a good influence on the next game. After the defeat at Swansea we won two games, so we have a good feeling."

Van Gaal on Giggs: 'I think it’s a way of suggesting things so I’m very irritated. I’ll take this up with the media, I’m not pleased.'

Boss: "I want to achieve the goals we've set. That goal is to reach the top four, and a trophy would be fantastic."

On reports that his relationship with Ryan Giggs is struggling: “I cannot answer that. We have a very bad relationship [jokes]… I’m very irritated by this question. We have a very good relationship, everyone can see that we work very hard together, and that goes for all the staff and players. I think it’s a way of suggesting things, so I’m very irritated. I’ll take this up with the media, I’m not pleased.”

On Monday’s FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal: “It’s a game between two teams of 11 players. United are Arsenal are placed third and fourth in the league, so it’s almost like a final I think… It’s very important, every match that you play has an influence on the next. We are in a rat race in the Premier League and the club that wins the FA Cup match on Monday will have good momentum for the league games.”

“I always want to achieve the goals we’ve set as a club. That goal is to reach the top four, and a title [trophy] would be fantastic. The top four is important for the club, if you win the FA Cup you’re still not in the Champions League. It’s fantastic for the manager, but our goal is to reach the top four in our first season together."

“I think Arsene Wenger is always saying the right things - for any club, the Champions League is the highest level. To finish in the top four, it’s a fantastic achievement, and more so for Manchester United.

“It’s difficult to say because Arsenal can also be at their best, but they might not be so good. It depends on your opponent, but usually against the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea you have to be at your best. In this league, when you’re not, it’s difficult to beat an opponent. We saw that yesterday, you need some luck, Rooney’s goal was ruled out [for offside], there are a lot of aspects you can’t control.”

Van Gaal on Young: "He fits my profile. He's doing a very good job and I'm pleased with him."

van Gaal is about to go into van Gaal mode.

BBC Sport's Simon Stone at Carrington: "After starting today's press conference with an apology for being late and offering an assessment of the spitting row that has engulfed the club and triggered statements from both Papiss Cisse and Jonny Evans, Louis van Gaal took exception to being asked about his relationship with assistant manager Ryan Giggs.

"First Van Gaal said his relationship was 'very bad' and wanted the rumours to continue. Then he said he was irritated at being asked the question.

"Finally he widened his targets to headlines which suggested he thought something when, in his opinion, he was merely answering loaded questions, such as United lacking a 20-goal a season striker - something he did not feel anyone could deny because no-one has done it yet.

"The Dutchman tends to fix his targets with a steely glare - and is not quick to avert his gaze. All very odd."



WTF is even going on any more?

Total [HASHTAG]#meltdown[/HASHTAG] by the [HASHTAG]#tacticalgenius[/HASHTAG]

Sounds like van Gaal.

How can anyone not be aware he is a certified nutjob? Why is it surprising to anyone?

So....

Fergie deserved preferential treatment?

<whistle>
 
Van gaal so far has been

1. A total joke with the media

2. Caught with foot in mouth 90% of time

3. Highly suspect at playing players too soon after injury

4. Very organised defensively

5. The most negative and dull manager I've seen since..... Pulis


Yes I have said it, this guy is the Dutch pulis or is <yikes> pulis the English van gaal?
 
Can anyone enlighten me

One guy admits it, says fair enough guv.... While the other totally denies it despite clear tv evidence

Now cisse was a sneaky **** trying to get close so nobody could see it but he's been honest

Evans utterly denies it despite the tape

So.... Will Evans get off or should he get more of a ban for being a bare faced liar.

Hopefully a bigger ban for being a total **** about it.

I can't imagine he could get off given
1. the 3 man panel already unaninmously agreed it was a red card offence
2. the media attention and inevitable fallout

Cisse could get an extra game because he has been suspended before but I think the fact he didn't start it (which apperently counts according the the Matic ban reduction) should get him less

I didn't know a panel had made a guilty call

I thought he had just been charged and a hearing would be due.

It hasn`t.
Three ex refs are asked to view incidents the match ref claims he didn`t see, if all three agree that a red card offence has been missed by the match ref then charges are brought and the player/s have a chance to explain/defend themselves <ok>
