    "Louis van Gaal has a clear misunderstanding that he's at any club - he's not. He's at Manchester United.

    "You're not only expected to win, you're expected to win in style. He's not got that yet - and that's why he's under pressure."

    Apparently Louis van Gaal said yesterday that "We cannot lose to a Championship club."

    We shall see...

    "It's really difficult [being a son of a professional footballer]. The son will always be compared. I've had many conversations with Kasper on how to deal with it and get over it. It's been a very long road for Kasper, he had to step down to League Two. When you get that name you think you have the finished product, but it takes time. It's the same with Tom Ince."

    No Paulo Wanchope or Francesco Baiano tonight but Derby have enough attacking threat to worry that Manchester United back four.

    Will it be a busy night for David de Gea?

    We are moments away from kick-off now...

    Tonight we're asking you to gaze into your crystal balls and finish these sentences for us:

    If LVG stays, this season will...

    If LVG goes, this season will...

    Narek in Bromley, who called for LvG to be sacked about 15 months ago: If LvG goes, United players will blossom into a great and creative bunch with lots of goals. If LvG stays, pathetic depression will continue and we'll lose the best of them.

    Jim, London: 1: have been underwhelming. 2: have been underwhelming.  

  9. Not the toughest period of my career - LVGpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Louis van Gaal

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on BBC One: "This is not the toughest period of my managerial career - I've always had tough periods at every club. This is not new. What is new is that stories are made up by the media and you can write anything without taking responsibility.

    "It's hard to enjoy your job at times like this.

    "I hope that my team shall perform like they have trained and show good team spirit. I want to see the confidence of the training session - that's important so we can win the game."

  10. Possession is not everythingpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Derby v Man Utd (19:55 GMT)

    Derby have the best passing accuracy in the Championship and have the most average passes per game too.

    We know all about Manchester United's style of play.

    As Gary Lineker says: "It should be a thriller!"

    Derby winger Tom Ince has just revealed that he shared a bedroom for six months with Ryan Giggs when Giggs lodged with Paul!

    I never knew that. Tom Ince is 24 today - a headline writer's dream...

    "It's Paul Clement's worst run as a manager, they've only got two points from 15. But his team have to be brave, be positive and the crowd will get behind them. I think United are there for the taking.

    "They have spent £25m on players, and I think there is a case that some of the players are still in the team because of their price-tags."

  17. We must focus on ourselves - Clementpublished at 19:36 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Paul Clement

    Derby County manager Paul Clement on BBC One: "Tonight is about focusing on ourselves. We are coming off the back of a couple of disappointing results but our last performance was encouraging.

    "Even though we lost 4-1 against Burnley, we played well in the first half. But we conceded two penalties, an own goal, and the other goal was a deflection.

    "Tonight is a one off game, we're playing at home in a special competition against one of the world's biggest clubs and I hope we can send our fans home smiling."

    "There have been rumblings of discontent from small sections of Old Trafford this season towards Louis van Gaal because the football has been nowhere near good enough - for the first time last week we saw the whole of Old Trafford let him know. The owner and chairman have to take notice - that's why tonight is a massive game. They can't lose this."
