The pressure is mounting on Louis Van Gaal after Manchester United suffered back-to-back defeat, first at relegation-threatened Sunderland followed by FC Midtjylland.
The question now on everyone's lip is, if Van Gaal is an upgrade of David Moyes. Let us take a look at the results under both managers.
Louis Van Gaal
Played 51 Win 28 Draw 12 Lose 11 Win %: 54.90
David Moyes
Played 51 Win 27 Draw 9 Lose 15 Win %: 52.94
Van Gaal's win percentage of 54.90% is just slightly better than Moyes' 52.94. But the amount of investments made by the former is almost 4 times as much, £249.6m compared to £67.7m.
With such heavy spendings, the fans have every right to demand better performances from their team.
Are they really that bad?
Based on WhoScored.com, the Red Devils garnered an average rating of 6.83, 56% of possession, 10.2 shots conceded per game and 11.6 shots per game for themselves.
Hardly vintage Manchester United at her peak.
They are now six points away from Manchester City who occupied the fourth position. The prospect of missing out on the Champions
League position is real.
When this becomes a reality, one would expect Van Gaal to be shown the door.
In fact, there are rumours going around that the Dutchman will be sack soon and replace by Jose Mourinho. The appointment could happen as early as before Arsenal trip to Old Trafford.
