Manchester United vs. Derby

The onus was then on Louis van Gaal’s men to react and Blind was an unlikely hero when he surged forward from his defensive position in the 65th minute to latch onto Jesse Lingard’s cross and finish into the bottom corner past goalkeeper Scott Carson.

“I passed the ball to Juan and then it opened up”, Daley said.

The United captain scored in the club’s 3-1 FA Cup fourth-round win against Derby County on Friday, making it six goals in his last six appearances.

I have heard more the fans of United than of Derby. “At that time I could not predict we would have eight injuries”.

“I saw United play last weekend against Southampton and they had a hard afternoon, losing 1-0, but it is easy to forget they went away to their biggest rivals in the domestic game in Liverpool and won by the same scoreline the week before”.

Henry, who often has his say on matters relating to the Premier League, has urged United chief Ed Woodward to get rid of Van Gaal so that the club can return to greatness.

Van Gaal added: “You can say it was better to have kept all the players in the summer but I have explained already that we are convinced of the fact that you have to motivate the players and when you have big selection that is more hard”. They have to give a result at that hour with that resistance (of Stoke).

“We did lots of good things on the night, the way we played and the effort the players put in”, said Clement, whose side are without a win in five league matches.

Thierry Henry has insisted that if Manchester United are to become successful once again they need Jose Mourinho to take over from Louis van Gaal at the end of the season. “I have always faced this [scrutiny]”.

“I have seen them playing also this week and they were very good and I think they deserved to win, but they didn’t win”.

“I don’t think I have ever mentioned it. I think you make your own stories”.

Derby County manager Paul Clement believes Manchester United were “clinical” in front of goal during their FA Cup fourth-round clash.
