Premier League: Louis van Gaal fears unrest among Manchester United fans despite Burnley win

Louis van Gaal fears he may be losing the support of some Manchester United fans despite seeing his side beat Burnley 3-1 on Wednesday evening.


Chris Smalling scored twice and Robin van Persie converted from the penalty spot as United moved up to third in the Premier League with the victory.

But relegation-threatened Burnley caused the hosts plenty of problems at Old Trafford and Van Gaal recognised some unrest from the fans in the first half.

"I heard the first whistles - that is a concern because we are playing for the fans,” he said. “The fans are the most important part of the club.


"They keep the club living and that is very important but they also applauded after the match and always in matches there is 90 minutes, not 45."

Although they are now third in the league, United have not won many plaudits for their playing style this season.

They were labelled a 'long-ball' team by West Ham manager Sam Allardyce after their 1-1 draw at the weekend and Van Gaal acknowledged his side looked nervous against Burnley.

"Today it was like that, I agree with that, so that is a pity because the fans were still supporting, because of the positive (score) at half-time,” he said.

"I thought that was fantastic when the team was playing (like) that. I never had that experience with my other teams so I was happy with the support of the teams.

"But of course we cannot have that the next game because then we are out of the FA Cup because we were also lucky today."

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

By
For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works).

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

By
A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
