Default Re: [UEL] Manchester United vs Liverpool

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal tells his players to believe they can stage comeback against rivals Liverpool

* Manchester United go into the second leg after 2-0 defeat in first encounter
* Louis van Gaal has urged his side to go into the game with confidence
* The Dutchman wants his supporters to replicate atmosphere at Anfield
* Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino scored during the first-leg clash


Louis van Gaal has told his players they have to believe Manchester United can stage one of the club’s greatest comebacks against bitter rivals Liverpool in their Europa League second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday.

United trail 2-0 from the first meeting at Anfield and are odds-on to be eliminated. However, Van Gaal insists they can still salvage the tie if they can generate the same kind of atmosphere that Liverpool fans created for their team last week.

‘I think the challenge to beat Liverpool and the challenge that we are two goals down is a big challenge,’ said the Dutchman. ‘We have to believe in it, it starts with the players of course but it starts also with the fans.



Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has said his side are focused on attacking rivals Liverpool

‘They have a lot of impact on the pitch and I have spoken only with the players about the victory and we have to believe in it.

‘We always owe the fans a big result because the fans are paying to see that. We have to deliver. But in sport you can lose and you can win. That you have to accept. It’s very difficult but you have to accept that.

‘I am satisfied about the fans because the results what we have achieved are not the results the fans are thinking we have to fulfil. We don’t fulfil the expectations and you see they support this team and this manager.

‘We need their support also because their impact is big. The atmosphere at Anfield was a big impact also.

‘Tomorrow [Thursday] we only have to think we have to beat Liverpool – and beat them 2-0 not 3-0 because we can do it in extra time. We can do it 2-0 and then we have a chance to reach the next round.’

United know they cannot afford to let Liverpool score another goal, which would leave them needing to score four. But having recovered to beat Midtjylland 5-1 in the last round, Van Gaal is not ruling anything out.

‘We don’t think about conceding a goal,’ he added. ‘We think about making goals. We have done that against Midtjylland, the last opponent before Liverpool.

‘You know we have scored goals within three or four minutes this season so it is possible.

‘The pressure is that we lost 2-0 to Liverpool. Manchester United and the players and myself want to survive and go to the next round, that’s the pressure and the challenge also. It’s a big challenge and for the players and the fans.

‘Also for Liverpool it is a different game. Also tomorrow [Thursday] night and they shall see that.’
