Van Gaal: Set pieces cost United

Manchester United's misery continued with defeat at AFC Bournemouth and Louis van Gaal bemoaned his side's failure to deal with set pieces.

Louis van Gaal was left to rue Manchester United's failure to deal with set pieces as it fell to a 2-1 Premier League loss at AFC Bournemouth.

The pressure has been mounting on Van Gaal after a toothless 0-0 draw against West Ham was followed by a 3-2 loss at Wolfsburg that ended the club's participation in the Champions League.

And the critics will be sharpening their knives again following Saturday's reverse at the Vitality Stadium – United's first league defeat since October.
