Andy Cole sends message to Man United supporters ahead of Chelsea clash

Andy Cole has urged Manchester United supporters to get behind the Red Devils players ahead of the visit of Chelsea at Old Trafford on Monday evening.

The 20-time English champions have lost their last three Premier League games following defeats by Bournemouth, Norwich City and Stoke City.

The Red Devils are winless in their last seven games in all competitions since a 2-1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road on 21 November.

Former United striker Cole sent a message to the Red Devils fans amid mounting pressure on Louis van Gaal ahead of their game against Chelsea.

Looking forward to the game today.. Let's get behind the lads! Old Trafford fortress #mufc
