Sam Allardyce branded Louis van Gaal’s side ‘Long-ball United’ after West Ham were denied victory by a late goal at Upton Park.
Daley Blind snatched a point in second-half stoppage time after Manchester United resorted to pumping long balls into West Ham’s penalty area. They were trailing to Cheikhou Kouyate’s strike until right at the death when Carl Jenkinson misguided a headed clearance into Dutchman Blind’s path.
West Ham manager Allardyce said: ‘In the end we couldn’t cope with Long-ball United. It’s not how you normally see United play, but it got them a goal in the end.
‘You might just criticise Louis van Gaal for playing long balls as much as I’m sometimes criticised for being direct.’
The Manchester United boss even admitted afterwards that it has been his Plan B in games this season to get Marouane Fellaini on the pitch and pump passes up to him.
‘I have done that already a lot of times with Fellaini, so that is not new,’ said Van Gaal, who also thought a late red card shown to defender Luke Shaw for a lunge on Stewart Downing was harsh. – Daily Mail
