PIC: Nick Powell clarifies matters after mini-storm over tweet criticising Van Gaal

Not everyone is convinced.

Louis van Gaal is having a tough enough time of it at Manchester United right now without his own players validating his ever-growing band of critics. Some people on Twitter thought that Nick Powell had jumped on the anti-LVG bandwagon on Sunday, after he ‘liked’ a tweet from Sky Sports which detailed the views of Sky Sports pundit Tony Cottee. The former Everton striker criticised Van Gaal’s spending during his tenure at Old Trafford... https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/678519882908962816 Powell didn’t take long to clarify matters on Twitter, claiming that he had accidentally liked the tweet whilst scrolling through his Twitter feed. Van Gaal himself wouldn't have taken kindly to most of the responses... https://twitter.com/NPowell25/status/678537947520585728 https://twitter.com/Ilkuypls/status/678538221396090880 https://twitter.com/asammufc/status/678538336374497280 https://twitter.com/jameswilson_19/status/678538526082879488 https://twitter.com/UtdDi/status/678539576445689856 In fairness to Powell, he was the player brought on for Juan Mata in a must-win Champions League game, having not played for the first team in well over a year, so he seems like an unlikely candidate to be criticising the manager. He may be staying off the Twitter for a while after this in any case.
