Manchester United were held to yet another goalless draw on Saturday, as they faced Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Red Devils were lucky to come away with a point on their travels, as they failed to score a single goal once again. After being knocked out in mid-week against Middlesbrough F.C. in a penalty shootout, Louis van Gaal and the club’s fans were expecting a much better show.
However, it was not the case and the game ended in a similar result after 90 minutes of play, highlighting once again the need for more quality attacking options. With already some of the pundits and former United players not liking the Dutchman’s style of play and his tactics testing the fan’s patience as well, it seems things are not looking too bright for van Gaal unless he can turn things around soon.
Some of the fans of the club made their feelings known via Twitter, as they sent out the Tweets below:
Just keep knocking United, it’s coming, it’s coming! 👌🏼 #MUFC

Spurs will also have the opportunity Monday night to close the gap on #ManUtd to just a point & also go 9 points clear of Chelsea. #THFC — Ricky Sacks (@GlobalSpur) October 31, 2015

Most disappointing aspect of these 4 draws is that we haven’t even created chances, never mind even look like scoring. #manutd #MUFC — Maddie (@MaddieMUFC) October 31, 2015
#ManUtd It’s only Crystal Palace. Why are you making it look so hard?😂

To become more lethal you have to have players move out of position and take risks in attack. Way too safe the way we’re playing atm. #MUFC

Can’t wait for a new exciting manager to come in, so we can get back to being close to the United we once were. Attacking fearlessly. #MUFC

When Louis Van Gaal tackles the Wayne Rooney question, its going to be monumental. He needs reinforcements before he does it. #MUFC #LVG
