| Louis van Gaal wants to see more professionalism from his players |
LOUIS VAN GAAL has demanded his Manchester United side show professionalism to pull themselves out of their current malaise.
The Dutchman saw his side's poor run continue with a 2-1 loss to Norwich - the side's third successive defeat in all competitions - at Old Trafford yesterday.
United were booed off the field after a result which not only left Van Gaal facing further criticism but possibly fighting for his job, with Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola now both in the market for new jobs.
Van Gaal's slow, possession-based game-plan has proved unpopular with fans and with results now taking a downturn - United have also not won in six games - the pressure is increasing.
A Boxing Day trip to Stoke looks another awkward fixture for United and their veteran manager, with Chelsea then coming to Old Trafford on December 28.
Asked what needed to happen for players to recover their draining confidence, Van Gaal said: "To show your professional attitude - that is the only way you can get that back.

"We had done that this week and that is the only way, but now we have to evaluate what we have done here and how we have prepared for this match.
"We shall evaluate what we have done as a staff, and as a team, to make it better against Stoke City.
"And then we have to play within two days against Chelsea. We have to show our professional attitude to improve and to come back into our confidence zone."
