Louis Van Gaal’s Manchester United on Saturday were easily beaten by Stoke City at the Britannia stadium.
United’s 2 – 0 loss was their third straight defeat and van Gaal is yet to win in 6 matches.
“We have lost the game in the first 45 minutes because we didn’t dare to play our football,” he said after the match.
“I thought it was the right decision [to leave out Wayne Rooney] otherwise I would not have done it.
“I have received it [backing of club] all the time but we have lost today so there is a new situation. I feel the support of my players and my board. The fans will be disappointed but that is logical after four defeats.”
