    Derby v Man Utd (19:55 GMT)

    United have Adnan Januzaj back on the bench tonight after an underwhelming loan spell at Borussia Dortmund. I'm a fan of his approach to the warm-up. While the majority of his team-mates have a few sprints and a drill or two, he's on his own doing kick-ups. Maverick.

    Lynda Cosgrove: ‏United v. Derby. United for the win & LVG to stay! I stay true to my team, no matter who the manager is!!

    Kyle: With the money he has spent and the dour football they have played, he has to go. They haven't improved since Moyes left.

    David de Gea is out going through his warm-ups for Manchester United - one man who may be interested - he may not be of course - to hear that Fifa have granted Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid a provisional suspension of their one-year ban on registering new players pending the outcome of their appeals.

    Will Real be able to sign players in the summer after all? We shall see. A few lawyers will be trousering some Euros, that is for sure.

    Antony Eaton: 1. Ruin the club by failing to win anything or get Champions League. 2. Give us a chance of improvement.

    James Barlow: If he stays he has to get top four (top two is way beyond our capabilities). If he goes write off this season and aim for top six, bring some more youth through to pressure under performers.

    Karena Goodwin: 1. Go down in the hall of shame. 2. Be embarrassing.

  8. Can Jesse Lingard be the new Mark Robins?published at 19:14 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Famously, former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was under pressure three years into the job at Old Trafford when his team faced Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round in January 1990.

    It was thought defeat would cost Ferguson his job, but United won 1-0 and he went on to become English football's most successful manager.

    Mark Robins - goalscorer that day - gets asked about that goal every 47 minutes of his life.

    Asked whether the FA Cup could become his saviour, former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Ajax boss Van Gaal said: "Of course."

    But would United really sack him now?

  9. Team Newspublished at 19:12 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Derby v Man Utd (19:55 GMT)

    Derby have conceded seven goals in their last two games including a 4-1 thumping by Burnley on Monday but boss Paul Clement sticks with the same team. Former Norwich striker Chris Martin starts up top and will be supported by Nick Blackman and Tom Ince on either flank.

    Derby XI: Carson, Christie, Keogh, Shackell, Warnock, Thorne, Ince, Butterfield, Johnson, Blackman, Martin  

    Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal makes two changes to the team which lost 1-0 at home to Southampton last Saturday. Guillermo Varela comes in for the injured Matteo Darmian at right-back with Juan Mata in for Ander Herrera in midfield. 

    Man Utd XI: De Gea, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson, Fellaini, Schneiderlin, Mata, Lingard, Martial, Rooney

    Jack: If LVG goes, this season will end with Champions League football next season, a top-three finish and a starting line up without Fellaini

    Octavius Brine: If LVG stays on this season it means the United board have clearly lost the plot, there's no redemption even if he wins the FA Cup

  11. One more defeat could do it?published at 19:08 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Derby v Man Utd (19:55 GMT)

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "When you lose it is more worse and I predicted already, before the game against Southampton, that I cannot lose any more because I am then condemned for the fourth time that I have been sacked. Maybe then you have written the truth, because sometimes it happens."

  12. The pressure gamepublished at 19:03 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2016

    Derby v Man Utd (19:55 GMT)

    Louis van Gaal's opposite number Paul Clement knows what pressure is like at a big club, having been an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain.

    And now he is also experiencing the pressure of management for the first time.

    "When you go two games without a win at Real Madrid it's a crisis, but you don't feel it like the manager does," said Clement, whose Rams side have dropped out of the automatic promotion places in the Championship following a winless five-game run.

    "When you're the manager all thoughts are on team selection. You have to block out the noise. I know a good performance and a win is around the corner."

    Paul ClementImage source, PA

    And he has sympathy with Van Gaal too.

    "The man who followed Sir Alex [David Moyes] had his difficulties, and now the next man in has had some difficulties too," said Clement. "But coaches need time to develop what they want to do."

    Is LVG's time up? That's the killer question.
