"How is it possible to give this game away? We have given the game away," said Van Gaal after United's defeat.
"You never expect that when you're 3-1 ahead. You have to kill the game and keep possession. We couldn't do that."
"Leicester has proven already in four games that they have a strong character and that when they are 3-1 down, you can play all the game with more possession but you cannot do these kind of things."

Van Gaal also said he did not take off Colombian striker Radamel Falcao because of his performance.
"He played well – but I have to build [his fitness] up," said the Dutch manager.
Falcao has yet to score for Manchester United but did offer an assist for the first goal but was substituted in the 72nd minute.
This was the Red Devil's second League loss in five games and they sit a miserable 12th in the table with five points.
