Louis Van Gaal’s days could be numbered at Old Trafford. The Sun reports that the Dutch manager is considering stepping down from his post before he is given the boot by the club hierarchy.
He is understood to have held talks with club executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, and have informed him of his decision. Following the 1-0 home defeat to Southampton, van Gaal admitted that he has failed in meeting the fans’ expectations.
He said: “I’m very disappointed that I cannot reach the expectations of the fans.
“They have – or they had – great expectations of me, and I cannot fulfil them, so I am very frustrated because of that.”
And the mood on Twitter is no different. Almost all Manchester United fans are waiting with bated breath for the Dutchman to step down.
For how long is Louis van Gaal close to being sacked ? It looks like maths. Infinitesimally tending towards zero. #MUFC

Very odd Van Gaal is still at Utd. He’s clearly hating it, and the board might miss out on CL money even though the title is still in reach.

I wonder how many United fans have gone off to watch The Revenant having gotten bored of waiting for news of Van Gaal getting the boot.
