Louis van Gaal gives Manchester United players hairdryer treatment during dressing room blast after humiliating Leicester loss
- Manchester United were beaten 5-3 by Leicester in Premier League clash
- Red Devils led 3-1 with goals from Robin van Persie, Ander Herrera and Angel di Maria before falling apart
- Manager Louis van Gaal slammed players for not killing off the game
- Jonny Evans left stadium on crutches to add to defensive woes
- Nigel Pearson has praised Esteban Cambiasso's performance
Louis van Gaal gave Manchester United players the full hairdryer treatment during a stunning dressing room blast following their humiliating 5-3 defeat at Leicester.
Van Gaal was furious with his players for allowing a 3-1 lead to slip and led a fiery dressing room inquest with his players following the capitulation.
Van Gaal, who has a reputation for losing his temper with his players, was openly critical of his expensively constructed team after their second defeat in the Barclays Premier League.
United capitulated to a humbling loss to leave Van Gaal furious at his players for ‘giving the game away’.
Van Gaal’s team led 3-1 after an hour but crumbled defensively in the face of Leicester’s energetic attack to suffer defeat after leading by two goals for the first time in Premier League history – a run stretching 853 games.
Jamie Vardy, playing non-league football two years ago, terrorised United’s backline with his direct running and had a hand in all the goals, winning two penalties, and finishing calmly to put Nigel Pearson’s side 4-3 up.
A Leonardo Ulloa brace, David Nugent spot-kick and Esteban Cambiasso goal added to overturn strikes from Robin Van Persie, Angel Di Maria and Ander Herrera as Leicester became only the sixth Premier League team to put five past a United side.
Van Gaal named Radamel Falcao, Wayne Rooney and Van Persie in the starting line-up but afterwards complained: ‘We have too many players who want to seek for the goal.’
The match turned on Mark Clattenburg’s decision to award a soft penalty in the 62nd minute for a push by Rafael on Vardy after the Leicester striker had shoved the Brazilian to the floor to win the ball.
Van Gaal declined to criticise the referee but added: ‘I am sitting on the fence. He was waiting for the push but it was stupid to do that. You know you are in the penalty area and you allow the referee to whistle if you make a challenge.’
Sportsmail columnist Jamie Carragher was more forthright on Sky Sports, calling the decision from Clattenburg ‘shocking’. But he criticised United for splashing £150million in the transfer window without securing a ‘proper defender’.
‘Spending all that money and not bringing in a top defender is mismanagement at the end of the day,’ said the former Liverpool defender. ‘United look vulnerable like that at the back this season.’Thanks very much for beingComment

Louis van Gaal: Wayne Rooney to play in midfield for Manchester United
• Dutch manager favours Radamel Falcao for striker’s role
• Juan Mata expected to make way for England captain
Louis van Gaal has stated he is not “satisfied” with Wayne Rooney as a striker believing Radamel Falcao is better in the position and suggested the Manchester United captain may have to play in midfield, with the move implying Juan Mata is no longer first choice.
United suffered a shock 5-3 defeat at Leicester City on Sunday having led 3-1 before Nigel Pearson’s team scored four unanswered goals to hand the 20-times champions a third league loss of the season.
While that left United in 12th place with only five points from five games, speaking before the match at the Kingpower Stadium to explain a selection that had Rooney replacing Mata as the No10 and Falcao partnering Robin van Persie, Van Gaal said: “We have played well but can improve and I was not so satisfied with [Wayne] Rooney as a striker and [Juan] Mata as midfielder and that’s why I’m changing.
“Rooney can play in more positions, he’s a multi-functional player and I have tried him in a striker’s position. He’s played well but not spectacular and [Radamel] Falcao is a striker and I think he can do it better.”
Van Gaal again played a 4-3-1-2 formation that had Rooney in the hole behind the strikers and after stating on Friday that his captain has “privileges” regarding always being selected, then Mata may be demoted to a permanent place on the bench.
Of having to change positions Rooney said: “I’m happy to play out wide - I can do a job there and I can do a job up front. It depends on the situation of each game and what the manager wants me to do.”
The 28-year-old also admitted he is now a different kind of footballer.
“I’m not the player I was - I feel I’ve progressed my game,” he said.
“So I agree with the people who say my game has changed. I [did] too much running when I was younger and then didn’t have the energy to get myself into goalscoring positions in the box.
“I’m a cleverer player now and know when to run into the box and when not to, and as a result more chances have come my way and I’ve scored a lot more goals for the club.”Thanks very much for beingComment
