It's time to get off Van Gaal's back... United were never going to finish above City and Chelsea this season



When Louis van Gaal was unveiled last summer, what position did you imagine Manchester United to be in going into the final 10 games? If you envisaged them leading the title race, you would have been kidding yourself. There was never any chance of United finishing in front of both Chelsea and Manchester City this season, not even after they spent £150.2million on new players and recruited a coach with a distinguished reputation. Yet given the way some people are talking about United at the moment, there seems to be disappointment and mystification that Van Gaal's team are in the middle of a fight to get into the top four and not perched in top spot, setting an unrelenting pace.
