Worst moments of LVG.

Can't forget the faults of him, and he doesn't deserve anymore time. pic.twitter.com/xpcMESv451

Thank you Van Gaal for spending £250 mil and bring Manchester United from 7th place to 5th place, we all really appreciate the great work!

LVG should've been sacked last May but I'm delighted it has finally happened.

Farewell, LVG. Thanks for buying Anthony Martial, stumbling on Marcus Rashford, pretending to fall over that time and having a funny voice.

Lvg gone which means:

RB won't be LB
CDM won't be CB
LW won't be ST
No.10 won't be RW
RW won't be RB

And....Jones won't be taking corners

Good luck van Gaal. You at least won us a trophy and entertained us off the pitch, if not on it.

1.29 - Man Utd averaged 1.29 goals per game in the Premier League in 2015-16; their lowest league average since 1989-90 (1.21). Bored.

The best thing about Van Gaal era is that we still dont know what was the "philosophy" #MUFC
— Sandeep Matharu (@san_mat7) May 23, 2016

51.3% - Louis van Gaal won 51.3% of league matches as Man Utd manager; only Sir Alex Ferguson (60.4%) & Ernest Mangall (54.2%) won more. Out
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 23, 2016

10 - Manchester United failed to score in 10 Premier League games in 2015-16; their joint-highest tally in a single PL season. Shy.
