The 4-0 loss at the hands of MK Dons
Giant killings in the English domestic cups are a pretty normal occurrence, and boy did Louis get acquainted with that fact in spectacular fashion! On 26 August 2014, a day before signing Angel di Maria for a British record transfer, United lost 4–0 to League One side Milton Keynes Dons in the second round of the League Cup.
It was an extremely youthful side fielded by Van Gaal, and he definitely did not foresee the traumatising exit. A decade-old club from two tiers below punched way above their weight and knocked United's senses out. The toothless display of attack, as well as defense, was criticized widely by most.
