The Red Devils twice led by two goals against
Leicester City but conceded four times in the
second-half as Nigel Pearson's men roared back
to claim a famous win
Louis van Gaal believes Manchester United’s
inability to keep possession was their “main
mistake” in Sunday’s 5-3 defeat to Leicester City
United twice led by two at the King Power
Stadium but four second-half strikes from Nigel
Pearson's side saw them roar back to claim a
famous win after an eight-goal thriller.
The result leaves the Red Devils languishing in
13th in the Premier League having taken just five
points from their first five matches and after the
match Van Gaal admitted his team's collapse
was unacceptable.
"We had complete control,” the Dutchman told
reporters.
“How is it possible that you give this game away
Leicester has proved already in former games tha
they have strong character. But when it's 1-3 an
you can play the game with more possession unt
the 90 minutes, then you cannot do these kind of
things.
“It's always possible in football. I have [had] a
long career so I have [had] this experience in
Barcelona once already. You cannot imagine [it],
but it happens.
"I don't want to criticise personal errors because
that happens in a game. We didn't keep the ball
in possession, that was our main mistake I
believe. We created a lot of chances.
“We make fantastic goals. That's a plus, but we
lost the game, that's the most important thing s
you cannot be happy because of the first part."
