– Manchester United was defeated by Danish champions
– Red Devils slumped to an 11th defeat of the campaign in all competitions
– Hargreaves advocates Van Gaal
The former midfielder of Manchester United Owen Hargreaves states that it is wrong to blame the Red Devils manager for the miserable season.
Van Gaal’s side was defeated by Midtjylland with 2-1 score in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie.
Hargeaves said: “I don’t think Manchester United will make a change but first of all it is David Moyes’ fault, then it was Louis van Gaal’s fault. At what point does the club take some responsibility for the way they’ve recruited players.”
“The best players don’t play for Manchester United anymore right now. Some of the best individual players, they’re going to Manchester City, they’re at Chelsea, they’re at Arsenal.Manchester United need to look at themselves and say, ‘what is our direction? How do we want to play? What is our philosophy again?’ Then they need to start recruiting players to play in that fashion. I think right now in terms of Manchester United being fifth in the Premier league, they play like they’re fifth,” the former Manchester United playmaker added.

He concluded: “I don’t think they’re a team that can compete to win the league, I don’t even think Manchester United fans believe they can win the league or the Champions League and they need to take a step in the right direction but I think right now they are where they are for a reason.”
