Van Gaal's reaction to Herrera's brilliant goal at Goodison last season....

http://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/...04/story.shtml

After one of the best efforts under Van Gaal, a 3-0 win at Everton, Ander Herrera – who had scored a goal and put in a man-of-the-match performance - was taken aside by the manager and given a verbal dressing down.

“What were you doing at the far post to score that goal?” he was asked.

“Well, scoring it,” came the reply.

“But you shouldn’t have been there. I don’t want you anywhere near there. You go where I tell you.”

It was perhaps little wonder that Herrera, baffled and perplexed, proceeded to play like a drain for the rest of the season.

read this yesterday, dont know if I believe it or just want to believe it.

A real £#%&!ing hell if true.

All managers have episodes like that, though. The point is that if they are successful, they get away with it.

Let it go.

It's Xmas

Jesus christ.

Given the amount of times he was caught out of position over the previous 18 months, it was probably a fair question.

He really was a pompous relic.

What did he say to Pavlyuchenko at half-time?

"Not a lot," said Redknapp, "he doesn't speak English, he's got an interpreter."

What did he tell the interpreter?

"I just told him to tell Pavlyuchenko to £#%&!ing run around a bit. The boy himself just kept nodding his head. He might be thinking inside: 'What's this tosser saying to me?'"

Pavlyuchenko scored the winning goal in that game.

Arguably the greatest team performance in 2 seasons that game

Maaaaate. There's systems, then there's that..... It's £#%&!ing mental if it's true.

Herrera seems to be able to play in Mourinho's system alright. He's arguably been United's best player this season.

Classic hotchip.

Great goal.

Not surprised LVG didn't like it. Given his aversion to first time finishes, he was probably pissed off herrera didn't try to control the cross with his head.

Didn't happen. Not sure why the @#%&! off Deadline Day would have intimate knowledge of our dressing room conversations tbh.
