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

The December of 2015

Manchester United's 1-2 loss to Norwich at home was amongst the final nails of his coffin

There is a reason for me naming the whole of December here. A winless run of six games including three losses against lower league opposition as well as the loss against Wolfsburg resulting in a group-stage elimination from the Champions League saw Van Gaal hinting at quitting.

A horrid run of consecutive defeats against Bournemouth (1-2), Norwich City (1-2) and Stoke City (0-2) all but displaced Van Gaal, with the recently sacked Mourinho getting linked almost immediately. The draws against West Ham and Chelsea did bring respite for him on a temporary level, as scarves with Mourinho’s face outside Old Trafford started to roll back the thoughts of having the Portuguese take over.
