Manchester United Manager, Louis van Gaal, admits his side’s title chances could be over if the team cannot end their run of eight games without a win against Swansea.

United followed a run of four straight defeats with a goalless draw against struggling Chelsea on Tuesday.

The team’s dismal run of results which has included them being dumped out of the Champions League in the group stages, has led to widespread speculation that Van Gaal’s job is in jeopardy.

The Dutchman admits United must win on Saturday to maintain any realistic hope of overturning the nine-point deficit between themselves and Premier League leaders, Arsenal.
