5 lowest points of Louis van Gaal's Manchester United reign

The right manager at the wrong time: Louis van Gaal

Group stage exit from the 2015-16 Champions League

Manchester United's loss to PSV was a hammer blow to Louis van Gaal

United slalomed past Club Brugge in the qualifiers and when the seeding was done to determine the teams in each group, Group B consisted of Wolfsburg, PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow and United themselves. So no Real Madrid, no Barcelona, no Bayern Munich, no PSG – it was perhaps one of the easiest groups. It should have been a cakewalk for them. Oh how they proved us wrong!

Some would say the away defeats cost them, but it was actually the draws against PSV at Old Trafford and CSKA at Khimki which hurt them the most. A 2-3 defeat to Wolfsburg ended their dismal Champions League campaign and thus subsequently demoted them to the Europa League.
