Aston Villa LvG Post-Match Interview
Van Gaal's post-match interview after the disappointing 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Aston Villa 1-1 Manchester United
Painful result after we did so well against the better teams, just to drop points to Villa (no offence to Villa fans). Benteke's goal was quality, i'll give him that, but the defending was horrid from Evans. Should have been an easy header for him if he positioned himself better.
The whole first half was abysmal. To be fair though, Darren Fletcher offered very little going forward, giving us very little chances. With 70% possession though, we should be getting wins comfortably.
If Ander Herrera isn't injured I am going to be quite annoyed. He would have made our midfield so much more creative, and unless he had some kind of injury, Fletcher starting over him is absurd. Especially since he was not even on the bench! I am waiting to hear Van Gaal's press-conference to see what's going on with Ander.
The only silver lining to this match was Falcao getting another goal, he really needed it. It's crazy how much he celebrates when he scores, even if it's only an equalizer.
Di Maria wasn't too magical for the 30 minutes he played, took way too many long shots, and didn't create much, but he needs time to regain full fitness. Young was doing work on the left, and I was shocked to see him get moved to the right.
Towards the end of the game it got pretty grimy with all the time wasting. The fans held the ball for ages, and then their keeper was getting away with murder with all the time wasting he was doing. Usually this wouldn't irritate me too much, because extra time makes up for it, but for the referee to only give us three minutes? It's absurd. There was at least three minutes of time wasting between the keeper and the fans not giving the ball back, and that's even before the time the red card shaved off the match. It took Agbonlahorn a good two minutes to get off the field, and for Young to receive treatment.
I'm gutted at the moment, but I guess it's not the worst result in the world. Hopefully we can get back to winning ways against Newcastle next Friday, it should be a tough test.

Aston Villa vs. Manchester United Line-Ups
Kick off for the Aston Villa vs. Manchester United match is only moments away.
The line-up is confirmed to be as follows:
David De Gea, Phil Jones,Michael Carrick, Evans, Valencia, Fletcher, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney,Ashley Young, Robin van Persie, Falcao.
Subs: Lindegaard, Blackett, McNair, Rafael da Silva, Angel Di Maria, Januzaj, Wilson.
I'm predicting a 4-1 win, with Falcao scoring at least one of the goals, and a brace for RVP.

Keano Confronts Cleverly
So after all the Aston Villa drama seemed to be over, Roy Keane manages to bring it all back up.
It is said that Roy Keane went over to Tom Cleveley's house, and was banging on his door angrily. Apparently Keano believes Cleverley leaked information about his departure to the press, and was very angry about this breach of privacy.
I will keep you all posted once I learn more. That must have been a horrifying sight for Tom, seeing Keane banging on his door.

Januzaj To Reunite With David Moyes?
Belgian wonder kid Adnan Januzaj could be sent out on loan to David Moyes' new team Real Sociedad in the January transfer window. After being one of the few bright lights in a darkness that was last season, Januzaj has failed to recreate any of the form that got him so much hype last season.
Van Gaal could be looking to loan him out in January to re-spark his form, and David Moyes is said to be interested in getting him. With so many great players in Manchester United's offensive arsenal, Januzaj is finding it hard to get any playing time, and the times he has played, he hasn't been too impressive.

I for one would love seeing him get first team football again, and think it could really do him a world of good.

Man Utd 2-2 Fulham
Another painful result, almost salvaged late on when United finally overturned Fulham's lead that they held for most of the game, with 2 goals within 90 seconds from Carrick and Van Persie. RVP was assisted by Mata, and Carrick's shot took a wicked deflection and ended up in the back of the net. But like the rest of the season, heartbreak came in extra time, after Bent scored a header.
It's hard to be positive about the match against Arsenal on Wednesday, or any of the remaining 13 games of the season for that matter, I guess it's just time to accept we will have to go a season without hearing that beautiful Champions League anthem.

Vidic Leaving Manchester
Confirmed on the Manchester United website, Vidic has confirmed he will be leaving United at the end of the season.
Vidic: “It’s the last year of my contract and I have had eight wonderful years here. My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career.
"I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow, memories that will live with me and the fans forever. However, I have decided that I will move on at the end of this season. I want to challenge myself again and try to make the best of myself in the coming years.
"I’m not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was lucky enough to be part of this club for so many years. I’ve got a few options to move on and I will choose the right one for me and for my family.
"I am now going to focus all my efforts on playing for Manchester United and do the best I can for the team until the end of the season. I hope this stops any further speculation about my future."
I hope Vidic continues to be successful wherever he goes, and will forever be grateful for his service.

January Player of the Month: Januzaj
On his 19th birthday, Adnan Januzaj is awarded January's player of the month after a phenomenal start to his United career. Adnan is one of the very few positives that can be taken from this season, and once Moyes finishes signing all the players needed, Januzaj will go on to win many titles with Manchester United.

Solskjaer Praises Zaha
Ole was full of praise for the Manchester United winger on loan at Cardiff saying the following:
“ Wilfried Zaha is one of the best I have seen with the ball. He has quick feet and is brave like Cristiano and wants to go forward. I have never seen anyone work as hard as Ronaldo.

“I am not afraid of using Sir Alex Ferguson or Cristiano as an example when I have to because to get the best out of your talent you need to be dedicated.
“It’s a desire and attitude from within. It’s what you’ve got in your heart and Cristiano’s always had it.”

Stoke 2-1 Manchester United
A tough result today at a very windy Stoke City as United fall 2-1. It is getting really hard to see us still making top 4 with Liverpool given the chance to go 9 points clear in fourth. In a game that United dominated the possession, Stoke still managed to get a 2 goals from Charlie Adam, both of which left De Gea with nothing else he could have done to try keep them out.
Van Persie equalized after Mata played a very nice through ball (goal below), but it was cancelled out shortly after by Charlie Adam's second goal. And to make matters worse, Evans and Jones went off injured, causing Carrick to be forced into defense, with Rooney and Cleverley controlling the midfield.
It was a tough result, but with Fulham coming up next, United needs to bounce back right away before the big clash against Arsenal.
