Manchester United claimed a comfortable 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. The win kept the Red Devils firmly in the battle for a top-four spot. However, there were not many fans present at Old Trafford to celebrate their team’s victory.
In one of the rarest sight in modern football, there were many empty seats spotted at the Theatre of Dreams.
Now it’s anybody’s guess if it was due to the fact that it was a Wednesday night or that the fans have finally lost faith in the philosophy of Louis Van Gaal.

The amount of empty seats at Old Trafford tonight is a sign of things. Game isn’t even televised and it’s half empty

Empty seats at Old Trafford? Surely not. I thought it was only City that did that, United fans? 😉 #mcfc #mufc pic.twitter.com/gCKXbsmuel

Loads of empty seats at Old Trafford. Some sort of protest against Arsenal always finishing fourth, probably.
