Paul Merson thinks Manchester United will prolong Leicester City's official pronouncement as Champions by defeating the Foxes at Old Trafford this Sunday.
Leicester City travel to Old Trafford looking for the last three points that will confirm them as Premier League winners.
Van Gaal, and some players in the United squad have spoken of their desire to see Leicester win the league, but not at Old Trafford.
Paul thinks United will play for that pride, and prevent the Foxes from celebrating as Champions at Old Trafford.
"If you're a Manchester United fan you don't want Leicester winning the Premier League on Sunday, that would be the last thing you need.
If you're the manager of Manchester United and that happens you're in severe trouble." He told Sky Sports.
"The story of winning it is unreal, but to put the icing on the cake and go and win it at one of the biggest football clubs in the world?
"But I don't think it will happen, though, and Manchester United will win this game.
"I was very impressed with them in the first half of the FA Cup semi-final, and with Wayne Rooney playing a bit deeper they're a better team."
United also have the top four to contend for and that will provide extra motivation for the United players.
Paul finally predicts a 2-1 United victory.
