Van Gaal addresses media ahead of FC Midtjylland clash

Published on: 24 February 2016

Under-fire Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Antonio Valencia and David de Gea will not feature tomorrow night against FC Midtjylland and admitted criticism may be affecting his side.

Speaking in  in a press conference this afternoon, the Dutchman contemplated the influence criticism may be having on his side, 'Maybe it can be an influence. There is a lot of criticism. They have to use their tools to ignore it. You have to prepare yourself properly. It should not be an influencing subject.'

The Manchester United boss also believes teams up their game against his side, 'I was not a great player but I was always at my best in a full stadium. Coming to Old Trafford is the match of their lives. Top teams have to cope with that' he said.'

Manchester United are hoping to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit when they face FC Midtjylland in the Europa League at Old Trafford tomorrow evening.
