Louis van Gaal has not given up on qualifying for the Champions League despite conceding Manchester United missed an opportunity in Tuesdays defeat at West Ham. Manchester United were 14 minutes away from crashing West Hams Boleyn Ground farewell after Anthony Martials double set them on course for a victory that would have seen them leapfrog Manchester City into fourth position.But the Hammers staged a late, stirring comeback on their final outing at their historic ground to seal a 3-2 win, leaving Man Uniteds top-four hopes out of their hands heading into their final-day fixture against Bournemouth. Manchester Uniteds French striker Anthony Martial scored twice It is the same story, we dont have it in our hands but it is still possible, we can still catch Manchester City because they have to beat Swansea and thats not so easy for them, Van Gaal told Sky Sports.Bournemouth (on Sunday) is also not easy because we have to cope with this big disappointment. When you are 1-0 behind and you change it to 2-1 and then lose again its a mental blow. Slaven Bilic said that West Ham were under pressure to win their final game at the Boleyn Ground Of course this is a missed opportunity, you could imagine how thrilled the players and fans and the coach also would have been in this situation. We have to cope with it and at the end we lost 3-2 so we have missed an opportunity.Defeat in East London means Van Gaals side will miss out on qualification for Europes elite-club competition if their cross-city rivals win at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.Manchester United, whose team coach was attacked en route to the stadium, struggled to cope with a rampant Hammers outfit on an emotionally-charged night.But Van Gaal refused to attribute his sides defeat to the ugly scenes pre-match, and instead highlighted their inability to deal with West Hams aerial threat from set-pieces or retain possession. Manchester United let a 2-1 lead slip We gave set-plays away which they could score from and we had difficulties with set plays, he added.We knew that in advance and, despite being 2-1 ahead, we couldnt managed that. We gave too many fouls away near the 60 meters and that was our problem.It is always difficult, they are good at set plays, the statistics show that and we are small. You have to organise that but still you dont have the centimetres and thats the problem. Manchester Uniteds team coach was attacked as it neared the ground When you are 2-1 you have to keep the ball better than we did. You can look at the set plays but I think we have to keep the ball better.West Hams players did everything to win and you could see that from the first minute. It was a special game and we had to cope with that, we are professional and we have to cope with all of these factors.They were lucky also, when you see how the goals come you have to say they were two set plays and all the threat was only through the set plays.

But Brown entrusted Geroux with rides in two Grade 1 races on Saturday at Arlington, Geroux won both of them, and the ride he gave Beach Patrol in the Grade 1, $450,000 Secretariat was exactly what Brown desired.That was the trip we were hoping hed get last time, Brown said. Florent kept him in the clear and out of trouble.Beach Patrol had gotten into a spot of trouble and was posted four wide on the turns when he finished third in the Belmont Derby last month. Geroux had him three wide today but sacrificed a bit of ground loss to keep Beach Patrol out of traffic. The pair moved to challenge for the lead at the top of the stretch, took over before the stretch call, then had to hold off a resurgent Long Island Sound, whom Beach Patrol had passed in mid-stretch, but who continued on gamely to the finish for trainer Aidan OBrien, who was seeking his third straight Secretariat win.You know when you pass a horse from that barn, youd better go by quickly because they always run, said Geroux.Geroux is a Frenchman who cut his teeth in American racing on the Chicago circuit, basing at Arlington during the summer until this year. His business has grown by leaps and bounds, and though he has won Breeders Cup races, Saturday surely was the best single day of his career. He won five of the cards 10 races, four graded stakes, and two Grade 1s. He also won the Grade 1 Beverly D. for Brown on Sea Calisi, the Grade 3 American St. Leger on Da Big Hoss, and was elevated to first by a disqualification on the Brown-trained Noble Beauty in the Grade 3 Pucker UUp.dddddddddddd.I dont feel pressure. I just try to have a blank mind on days like this, try to ride my best, Geroux said.Scissors and Tape, a pacemaker for Oscar Nominated, set a solid pace over good-to-firm going, passing the half-mile in 48.31, pursued by Long Island Sound and Beach Patrol. The pacemaker threw in the towel at the top of the stretch as the two favorites slugged it out, with Beach Patrol just a head better on the day. American Patriot had a traffic-filled trip on the inside and ran a good race to get third, three-quarters of a length behind Long Island Sound.He wasnt taking me anywhere early, said jockey William Buick. Hes a big horse, and it probably wasnt ideal being in so tight.Long Island Sound improved Saturday on his sixth-place finish in the Belmont Derby. He was better this time than last time, said jockey Seamie Heffernan. Hes an improving horse.One Mean Man turned in his typically solid performance to finish fourth and was followed by Oscar Nominated, Cordon, Surgical Strike, Cherry Wine, and Scissors and Tape. The winning time for the 1-1/4 miles was 2:01.95. Beach Patrol paid $7.60 as the mild favorite.Beach Patrol is owned by James Covello, Sheep Pond Partners, and Head of Plains Partners. Hes a 3-year-old colt by Lemon Drop Kid out of the Quiet American mare Bashful Bertie who has gone 3-2-2 from eight starts and won his first graded stakes after a near miss in May in the American Turf. Beach Patrol was developed as a young horse by trainer Wayne Catalano and was sold privately this year by Gary and Mary West.
