Exclusive: 85% of Man United fans want Louis van Gaal sacked now after Midtjylland defeat
MANCHESTER UNITED fans want Louis van Gaal out NOW.
Louis van Gaal should be sacked now, say 85% of fans
The Dutchman oversaw an embarrassing defeat to European minnows FC Midtjylland last night and is now officially the club's worst manager in 35 years.
United are now six points off the top four and on the brink of another embarrassing European exit.
Express Sport understands Van Gaal has three games to save his job, but we gave readers the chance to have their say and a whopping 85% think he needs to go now.
ARE THEY RIGHT? HAVE YOUR SAY NOW
Van Gaal could be sacked by the United board if results in the next three games - Shrewsbury in the FA Cup, the return leg with Midtjylland and Arsenal in the Premier League - don't go their way with Ryan Giggs set to be asked to take over until the end of the season.
Jose Mourinho would then become manager in the summer having agreed a three-year deal worth £48m.
The Portuguese is wary of taking over before the end of the season, wanting a clean break and the chance to start fresh.
Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December after their feeble title defence.
But now United appear to have decided to replace the Dutchman with him after missing out on Pep Guardiola who will take over at Manchester City.
Fans were furious last night, after paying up to £71 for a ticket, following the 2-1 defeat in Denmark that leaves them on the brink of European elimination.
They chanted "We're f****** S***" and Van Gaal agreed in his post match press conference.
Even local newspaper the Manchester Evening News turned on Van Gaal by printing this back page this morning.
Van Gaal's dire situation, despite spending nearly £300m on transfers, has left his position just about untenable.
The Dutchman even took to blaming Murphy's Law for last night's humiliation.
"It is the law of Murphy I think," the Dutchman told BT Sport.
"A lot of things are happening in the heads of the players and in the first 10 or 15 minutes we were not so good."
