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

The right manager at the wrong time: Louis van Gaal

The 4-0 loss at the hands of MK Dons

MK Dons' Benik Afobe tore Manchester United a new one

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.
