Man Utd boss Van Gaal: Shaw didn't deserve red

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists Luke Shaw didn't deserve to be sent off during their 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Shaw was sent off for two bookable offences.

Van Gaal insisted the second yellow card, given by referee Mark Clattenburg in the final moments for a foul on Stewart Downing, should not have been a foul.

The Dutchman said: "It was in front of me. The player (Downing) was jumping, but I think it was tactically not so smart of Shaw.

"I think the referee could give him a yellow card, but he doesn't touch him."
