Louis van Gaal has slammed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tactics and explained why Manchester United will be reluctant to sack the manager.
He said: ‘Solskjaer is an ex-player, so they will not sack him as quickly as someone else.
‘United won’t sack a manager during the season especially Solskjaer. I see all the stories about Solskjaer and his future in the media.
‘But they waited with sacking me until the end of the season and that could happen to him.’
Van Gaal was disappointed with Solskjaer’s tactics during last weekend’s Manchester derby stalemate.
He said: ‘All Man United did was defend with ten men. Everyone knows my relationship with Pep Guardiola, who is angry with me because I challenged him in my last book.
‘But I enjoyed watching City more than United. I have far more sympathy for City than for United.
‘Honestly, United were just defending and hoping they can do a quick hit on the counter. Pep’s team don’t have the intention to defend with ten men.
‘United just defend and put a couple of players up front who can run 100 metres in 9 seconds. Is that a world record?
‘All I mean to say is that Greenwood, Rashford or Martial are super fast runners who will use the space United’s opponents leave behind their defence when United sit back and defend.
‘In the derby, United played as if they were City’s servants.’
