"I am not entirely responsible for Manchester Utd's bad form", says Van Gaal

The 63-year-old Dutchman says that he is not solely responsible for Manchester United’s current form.Despite losing just 2 games out of 20 matches in their latest run, the questions have always been raised against the style of United’s play and Manager Louis Van Gaal has piled some of the responsibilities on his men.

As far as ambitions matters, United are looking for a top four finish in Barclays premier league but the recent defeat at Swansea have increased the pressure on the Manager as well as the players as they look for a champions league place.

Even Angel Di Maria, who was bought from Real Madrid last summer for a record British transfer fee of 59.7m euros has failed to regain his form after frequent injuries which have dampened the condition for Manchester united a lot. Van Gaal recently talked to press about current situations and he clearly indicated that he will not take the bad form of United as his responsibilities.

“It’s not always the fault of the manager, when a player is not performing well, I can tell you that and I think not only Di Maria [is struggling],but all the players too.My belief, and the belief of the board, is when you do things with your conscience, then it shall be better.But at the end, every player has to do each task with intuition, because that is the process.He further added,Di Maria needs to go through that process and at the end he shall be much better.I know as a manager that he’s a very creative player and you can see this from the statistics.He needs that space and I give that space, but he needs to do also things with his brain and that’s a learning process, not only with Di Maria but with all the players.”

United with their latest 2-0 win against Sunderland have moved to the 3rd place of Premier league table with Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea yet to play a match.
