Some Man Utd games have bored the manager

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says he has been "very bored" during some games this season.

"There are matches that I have enjoyed," said the Dutchman.

"And there are also matches where I'm very bored or angry because we are not disorganising our opponent's defence, but that is football."

Van Gaal's team were booed off at half-time during Saturday's FA Cup win over Sheffield United, with thousands of home fans leaving early.

Asked why many fans had left before Wayne Rooney's 93rd-minute penalty secured a 1-0 win, Van Gaal replied: "They are not thinking that we would score, I think, and maybe also because of the traffic."
• 'Van Gaal's teams start slow... and they fade'

Van Gaal suggested United fans should be "happy" with their team's current form, despite the fact that they failed to register a shot on target until the 69th minute against their League One opponents.

United travel to the Championship's second-placed side Derby County in the fifth round, but return to Premier League action on Tuesday, when they face struggling Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Van Gaal's side are fifth in the table, nine points adrift of leaders Arsenal and three behind fourth-placed Tottenham, with 18 games left.

Did he really say they were glad to pick up 3 points, when it was a cup game??

He's been very successful using the same tactics, the players are getting thousands a week and have to up their game, there's players in the premiership who would love to be in their shoes
