David Moyes Tells Manchester United to Stand by Louis van Gaal

Either way, Van Gaal knows he’s already a dead man walking after a shocking season of underachievement after spending £250 million in his two season reign at the club. Until now, as the Express insists Louis Van Gaal still has three games left to save his job, even though United have been resolutely bad for the last few months. Memphis Depay thinks he’s way better than he is, so they tell me, and Anthony Martial has been no world-beater either.

United will hand Mourinho £16 million-a-year, equivalent to £308 000-a-week, in a bid to revitalise the club’s flagging fortunes.

The Sunday Mirror report that supposed performance-related targets in the manager’s contract mean the club could let him go more cheaply if there is no Champions League football at Old Trafford in 2016/17.

Louis van Gaal knows the pressure is on to avoid an FA Cup upset as his confidence-shorn Manchester United side visit League One Shrewsbury Town in the fifth round on Monday.

Express Sport understands that Jose Mourinho expects to take over from Louis van Gaal this summer if the club does indeed fail to qualify for the Champions League.

“I’m looking forward to the return leg, hopefully we’re going to get something”, Onuachu said.

At the end of the game, United fans in the MCH Arena made it clear they were not impressed with their side’s display.

“Please, please just sack Van Gaal he is the worst thing that has ever happened at United”, one user tweeted.

Sitting alongside him was ex-England striker Alan Shearer, who suggested Van Gaal’s days were numbered. But besides that… a club like United should play for trophies all the time.

“If we are at our best then we should win the game, but it is not as easy as that – as Thursday night has shown”.

Following the embarrassing spate of defeats in the last week, United fans believe that enough is enough, and that Van Gaal should be sacked sooner rather than later.

With first-choice goalkeeper David De Gea injured, United have recalled 18-year-old Dean Henderson from his loan spell at Conference North side Stockport as cover for Sergio Romero, and the teenager could be on the bench at Shrewsbury. “A competition like this shouldn’t be away from us for this long”.
