#242 – Forever Dull
how dull is Louis van Gaal's Manchester United side? Very, if the Reds' scoreless draws against Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace in the past week are anything to go by.
Quite how dull is Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United side? Very, if the Reds’ scoreless draws against Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace in the past week are anything to go by. They were the second and third such draws in a joyless sequence. Mediocre results, and a lack of entertainment on the pitch, has led to some unrest off it – with United supporters enjoying a mini Paul Scholes inspired rebellion at Selhurst Park. Ed & Paul review those games against Boro and Palace – and ask the questions on everybody’s lips: will Van Gaal ever push for a more attacking outlook this season; and is Wayne Rooney’s time now up? There’s also a look ahead to United’s fixture against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford, and West Bromwich Albion’s visit at the weekend.
