Louis van Gaal said that MarouaneFellaini should learn to control himself
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has said that MarouaneFellaini will have to learn to control himself on the pitch.
The Manchester United player was guilty of elbowing Robert Huth and has been banned for 3 matches.
Louis van Gaal, however, admitted that it was a human reaction as footage has shown that Huth was pulling out his hair. He conceded that Manchester United has no intentions of appealing the ban despite the fact that the ban would prevent Fellaini from missing the remaining games of the season.
The Dutch manager said it was unfortunate that the referee did not see the action properly and given that the Huth has also received a 3-match ban there was a foul in the penalty area. For him, this means that his team has been denied a penalty in the game.
However, he added that he would not want to complain too much as he respects what Leicester have achieved this season by winning the title and he congratulated them for their achievements.
Louis van Gaal’s side will face Norwich City in their next game and the manager has already said that he will be rotating his squad for the match. He said that his players will be playing 3 games in the space of 8 days and that he will have to make full use of his squad if he wants them to remain fresh for the FA Cup final.
Manchester United still have the possibility to qualify for the Champions League, and they are currently 3 points behind Manchester City. Their rivals will have to face Arsenal over the weekend, and van Gaal believes that they have a big chance to increase the pressure on their rival by winning the game.
