Van Gaal wants revenge
06.45: Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has claimed that he wants to take revenge on the Red Devils.
The Dutchman was sacked last year after the United supporters grew frustrated with the style of football he was implementing at Old Trafford.
And Van Gaal has been without a club since, and claims he will only return to management to hit back at United.
“I will probably not manage a club anymore,” he told the Mirror.
“I would make one exception — if a big English club comes for me, than I would do it.
“Because then I can get the chance to get one over on Manchester United.”
Valencia injury update
06.15: Jose Mourinho has shed some light on the extent of Antonio Valencia’s hamstring injury.
The wing-back was forced to withdraw on the 66th minute during the 2-1 win against West Brom yesterday.
But Mourinho is not worried about the set-back.
“No (I’m not worried about the injury), that’s football – especially football in England,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.
“Especially in December.
“It’s normal the players are getting into fatigue levels. They’re not machines.”
Man Utd to rival Chelsea for Alex Sandro
05.45: Man Utd have reportedly been given the go-ahead to sign Juventus full-back Alex Sandro in January.
The Red Devils have yet to find a settled left-back after Luke Shaw fell out of favour with boss Jose Mourinho.
Ashley Young has been holding the fort since, but now United are expected to strengthen next month.
And according to the Mirror, Sandro would be available to move for £60m, which is £5m less than the amount Chelsea had rejected in the summer.
