The considerable constituency gunning for Louis van Gaal to be removed from his job were quietened following Manchester United’s goalless draw with Chelsea. Expect the snipers to start baying again should United lose to Swansea City at Old Trafford. Van Gaal is minded not to walk away but he knows a ninth match without a win will make life uncomfortable for him once more. Jamie Jackson
