2 Bournemouth
1 Manchester United
at Dean Court

THIS is getting all too familiar for Manchester United fans. As Louis van Gaal addressed the media on Saturday following United’s 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, his eyes were focussed not on the journalists asking him questions but the TV screen behind them.

Sky Sports were showing Manchester City’s 2-1 victory over Swansea, where the Manchester side scored a late winner, something the red half of the city were renowned for under Alex Ferguson.
