United have not enjoyed a great run in all competitions as they were eliminated from the Capital One Cup and the Champions League. In the last 13 matches, they have managed only three wins and the last three matches have ended in defeat.

Louis van Gaal is under pressure and he will be looking forward for his side to bounce back when they take on Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Boxing Day. United will be looking to bounce back and a victory will give them the much needed morale boost for the Chelsea clash on 28 December.

What managers say

Mark Hughes: "I think there is a little bit of noise surrounding the club and a little bit of debate about how they are playing, and which way the club is going. From the games I have seen, they are dominating games for the most part. Their game seems a lot more possession-based than it has been in the past. They have had a lot of possession and created a lot of chances - a bit like ourselves."

Louis van Gaal: "I held meetings with the players with my members of staff, I hold a Christmas lunch, I did a speech and I feel the warmth and support of everybody in Carrington. But I didn't feel that in the media. Of course I can imagine that you can write about that subject [our bad results] but you have to stick to the facts."
