United are in the midst of a difficult period which saw them fail to score in successive games against Man City, Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace. To compound matters, the Middlesbrough stalemate led to a penalty shoot-out defeat for Van Gaal&rsquo;s side and an exit from the English League Cup. Matters improved slightly with a 1-0 Champions League win over CSKA Moscow in midweek but supporters remain frustrated and have been widely critical of what is seen as a lack of ambition and attacking intent.
LVG has asked fans to be patient though. &ldquo;I can only advise the fans to criticise the manager and not the players. It&rsquo;s very difficult to play for Manchester United with a lot of pressure and when it is also that you can taste that at Old Trafford because of all the yelling then it&rsquo;s not good for all my players. It&rsquo;s better to whistle at the manager. I can cope with it.&rdquo;
