Man United boss Louis Van Gaal still feels supports from Ed Woodward

Damningly, United have managed just seven shots on target in their last four home games – also the worst record in the league – leading to regular chants of “attack, attack, attack” from the Old Trafford crowd.

The blame for Manchester United’s poor performances has landed squarely on the head of Dutch manager Louis van Gaal, who has come under heavy criticism from all corners and has infuriated the fans with his brand of football and lack of results.

Even sacked David Moyes avoided such a run and van Gaal admitted his job is on the line after the game.

In the past two months United have played five goalless draws at home, against Manchester City, Middlesbrough, CSKA Moscow, PSV Eindhoven and West Ham.

This was the straw that broke the camel’s back for many United fans.

Van Gaal crisis not as bad as Moyes era, says Jones.

“Ryan was an absolutely magnificent player; he is certainly one of the best players I have ever worked with in the short period of time I was there”.

“We are really disappointed for not giving you what you deserve, because your support is fantastic and unconditional, but I’m sure that we will turn this situation around”.

Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Norwich was United’s third in a row and saw them slip to fifth in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho has been installed as 8/13 favourite with Ladbrokes to become the next boss at Manchester United. Past year we had 13 points in the Premier League (at the start of his reign) and then they believe in me, they think he shall bring us to the top. “My record suggests I am a very successful manager, although maybe I should say I was a very successful manager”. “We have to show our professional attitude to improve and to come back into our confidence zone”. We can’t accept that and that’s why I have to repeat, we have to stick together and believe in ourselves. “We might be playing well in patches and not scoring or whatever it is, but we need to take responsibility for results”.

Norwich were the latest team to beat United when they visited Old Trafford on Saturday, despite only averaging 31 per cent possession.
