United have not won in eight games, including their past six in the Premier League, have dropped to sixth place, and are out of the Champions League. On Saturday they face Swansea, a team Van Gaal has lost to in all three meetings since taking charge. “There is no magic, it is looking at what has happened and what can improve, as a team and individually,” he said. “I have lost three times against Swansea, and then you have to evaluate why you lost. It is always like that, then you continue with the same vicious circle of working. “You make a game plan to beat your opponent and then you have to convince your players. Then you have to train and then you have to be convinced. Then you can be committed and try to perform it.” Has the pressure eased on Van Gaal?

Manchester United German player has join the sundry in wishing the whole word happy new year. He wished the whole world a fun filled year ahead through his Instagram page.
