Man United stays focused on top four

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal reacted angrily to suggestions his club's supporters had voted with their feet by missing a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

The Premier League side announced a near-capacity crowd of 75,277 for the win, which maintained its bid to finish in the top four and claim a place in next season's Champions League.

But that figure includes season ticket holders, regardless of whether or not they attend, and there were hundreds of empty seats at Old Trafford as fullback Matteo Darmian scored his first goal for the club and forced Damien Delaney into an own goal for the opener.
