We Must Play ‘Our Football’ Against Chelsea – Van Gaal

Louis van Gaal has challenged his Manchester United players
to play "our football" against Chelsea on Monday as he fights
to save his job.
Following the 2-0 defeat to Stoke on Boxing Day, United
have lost four consecutive games in all competitions and
have not won in seven, and Van Gaal suggested after the
game that he could quit.
Monday's meeting with Guus Hiddink's Chelsea could prove
decisive and the former Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich
boss said he wants to see bravery from his players as they
look to return to winning ways.
"You can say we can quickly get over this defeat by playing
against Chelsea but, in the time in between, you have to
recover because the players have given everything," he told
MUTV.
"Then you have to manage that you are very confident to
start the Chelsea game, and that you dare to play football —
our football! It is very difficult to do that in just two days but
we shall try."
Michael Carrick said victory against Chelsea could have a
huge impact on United, who are currently sixth in the table,
nine points behind leaders Leicester but just three behind
fourth-placed Tottenham.
"Football can change quickly," Carrick told MUTV. "At the
moment it is tough to take and it is going to hurt for a couple
of days.
"So we have to get our heads right for Monday. It can turn
around quickly and if we get a good win then the feeling
comes back. Hopefully we will be able to kick on from that."
Carrick, who joined United in 2006 and has won five Premier
League titles, told Sky Sports after the Stoke game that the
current slump had been painful but everyone at Old Trafford
must stick together.
"As a club, as a group of players, the staff and the manager,
everyone is in this together," he said.
"We have to stick together and win football matches. We all
have to take responsibility for that, we are all in it together.
