Morgan Schneiderlin admits Manchester United have let their supporters down at Old Trafford.
The
midfielder has been one of the bright sparks for Louis van Gaal during a
difficult season in which United have fallen behind rivals Manchester
City and Arsenal as well as Leicester.
That
feeling of being cut adrift from the title chasers intensified last
week after the manger was hounded down the tunnel following defeat by
Southampton.
Morgan Schneiderlin admits Manchester United have let their supporters down at Old Trafford
Supporters at Old Trafford have watched their side become detached from the title-chasing pack
It was the most ferocious booing Van Gaal has encountered, under pressure to not only win but win with style.
Reflecting
on Charlie Austin’s winner to condemn United to a sixth defeat of the
campaign Schneiderlin knows the fans deserve better.
‘Our first feeling was disappointment after our performance and losing the game,’ he said.

Manchester United's players walk away dejected after losing against Southampton at Old Trafford last month
‘It was hard to take and we understand the frustration of everyone – we feel it as well.
‘We
want to bounce back and win now, though. We’ve had a bit of time to
reflect on that last league game and now it’s up to us to improve.
'We want to win in front of our fans because they deserve the best and they are used to the best. We want to give them that.’
United
were much-improved as they beat Championship Derby County on Friday
night but Stoke City will be a different animal on Tuesday night.
Schneiderlin has been one of the bright sparks for Van Gaal during a difficult Premier League season
‘Every
game is a big game for this football club, especially in our position
now,’ he added. ‘We need to look at each game as a cup final, and to win
every one until the end of the season.
‘We can see that the gap is getting a bit bigger in the table but it [the title] is not impossible.
'For
the second part of the season we want to improve our game and win as
many matches as we can to be a contender for the title and be in the
Champions League, because that’s very important to this club.
