VAN GAAL: I WAS AFRAID THE MAN UNITED FANS WOULD TURN AGAINST ME After enduring a torrid start to the season that saw United lose their Premier League opener at home to Swansea City, before two uninspiring draws at Sunderland and Burnley and a League Cup humbling at the hands of the MK Dons, Van Gaal has admitted he expected the clubs fans to be rising up against him following an underperforming and uninspiring start to the season. And having experienced testing times at Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, three of his former clubs, Van Gaal was expecting a harsh reception from the Old Trafford faithful. The first feeling that I had was that after 11 matches and we had 13 points, I came in the stadium and thought the fans shall not be pleased, and they are rising up, [but] they are clapping their hands when I entered the stadium! With the other clubs... in Barcelona with the white handkerchiefs, in Munich and Amsterdam with the whistles, and here in Manchester they were applauding for the manager despite the few points. I felt not so happy because I was responsible for the results.
