Crystal Palace ace slams Louis van Gaal's tactics following goalless draw with Man United

Louis van Gaal's side haven't scored in over five hours of football

YOHAN CABAYE believes Manchester United showed more threat playing under Sir Alex Ferguson than they do now with Louis van Gaal.

 

United endured a 0-0 draw with the Eagles on Saturday, registering only one shot on target.

Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney both struggled to break down Palace's back-four as their goal drought extended to over five hours.

The result meant United played out a third consecutive draw for the first time since 2005.

And Cabaye admitted that although Van Gaal's side are experts in keeping possession, they struggle to be creative when playing against a well organised side.

"I remember I played against Manchester United for Newcastle they could score at every moment in a game," Cabaye said. 

 

"Here they did not have the big chances to score. Wayne Rooney had a free-kick in the first half and that was about it.

"Yes, they are a big club and yes, they can keep the ball – passes, passes, passes – but if you work hard against them and stay in a good shape they can't do anything to pass through you or be adventurous."

United's next game comes tomorrow night as they host CSKA Moscow in the Champions League (7.45pm).
