Van Gaal admits United didnt cope with Liverpool

Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal admitted his side could not cope with the pressure produced by Liverpool as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat Anfield in their UEFA Europa League last 16 first-leg tie on Thursday.

Goals from Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino secured victory for Jurgen Klopp’s men and Van Gaal was unhappy with both goals.

The Dutchman felt the Merseyside club were awarded a ‘cheap’ penalty kick in the first half and felt midfielder Jordan Henderson was offside in the lead up to Liverpool’s second goal.

Van Gaal paid tribute to Liverpool’s approach but demanded an improvement from United’s creative players.
