Van Gaal’s Cambridge frustration

LOUIS van Gaal complained that all elements of the occasion were stacked against his Manchester United side after they were held 0–0 at Cambridge on Friday.

Cambridge, the lowest–ranked side remaining in the FA Cup, deservedly earned a fourth–round replay at Old Trafford.

Asked if he thought Cambridge, promoted to League Two last season after nine years outside the Football League, can go to Old Trafford and win, head coach Richard Money said: “No. I don’t, but you never know.

“We’ve said in the dressing room ‘You’re going to Old Trafford. Who cares what happens? Just go and enjoy it, soak it in. Whatever happens, happens’.

“This club has been in the doldrums for 10 years, out of the Football League, and suddenly here we are taking everybody back to Old Trafford. It’s incredible.”
