Does Louis van Gaal deserve another season at Manchester United?

With 99.9% of the Old Trafford faithful seemingly against the idea of offering Louis van Gaal one more season at Manchester United to honestly prove his worth once and for all, and former Chelsea favourite – Jose Mourinho – largely expected to step in and claim his place among the Red Devils dug-out ahead of the 2016/17 domestic campaign, it certainly remains somewhat hard to imagine the enigmatic Dutchman maintaining his current role among the English top-flight for much longer.

 

The results down at Old Trafford have been adequate at best throughout the vast portion of the current season, the players have largely failed to impress for the most part despite Manchester United successfully earning an illustrious place in the F.A. Cup final in recent weeks, and as for the level of performance and entertainment value achieved by the Red Devils in 2015/16 – well, perhaps the least said about that, the better…

 

As Manchester United have admittedly hit a decent run of form among the Premier League over the past month or so however, has the English footballing community simply been too quick to judge Louis van Gaal this term, or must the Red Devils ultimately look to part ways with the former Netherlands coach as soon as physically possible? We’ve taken a look at what Twitter has to say on the discussion…

Well, although the notorious Dutch tactician does warrant at least some degree of praise for everything positive he has developed at Manchester United this season…

 

Its so obvious Louis Van Gaal & our Academy deserves credit for #MUFC Youth & bright future.
Those who deny LVG that are just hateful idiots

…as well as perhaps his growing entertainment value in post-match interviews and the like…

…very few Manchester United fans ultimately want to see Louis van Gaal operating at their club in 2016/17…

 

I hope Van Gaal gets all the credit he deserves for his time at United, which is absolutely none

Although some have seemingly taken on a somewhat sympathetic approach when analysing the Dutchman’s partially disappointing spell at Old Trafford…

 

I think Van Gaal deserves a great deal more dignity and respect than he is getting from both the media and his employer #LVG #Rumour

…certain sections of the Red Devils faithful have even turned on a previous club legend after the sheer lack of progress made under Louis van Gaal…

 

Van Gaal is the king of destroying players. And Ferguson deserves hate for manipulating the fans into backing him.

And after Manchester United’s sheer inability to impress their fans with free-flowing football and an all-round attractive style of play this term…

 

Man United Though , Bleh ! What A Boring Team.

…the recent backlash surrounding Louis van Gaal hardly arrives as much of a surprise…

 

Hope Van Gaal does leave, the fact he is 5th in a league this poor after 250m spent is shocking

Big things are nonetheless expected of a certain former Stamford Bridge legend down at Old Trafford in 2016/17…

 

If Mourinho signs for #mufc, that would lift up spirits again at old Trafford
its been a while since we saw fans all excited from 0-90 mins

…so whilst the current Manchester United boss has indeed brought his fair share to the English game in recent years within the grand scheme of things…

 

Van Gaal is funny. Bosses the press every time.

…the situation surrounding himself and the increasingly frustrated Old Trafford faithful couldn’t be any clearer right in the here and now…

 

united deserves absolutely nothing for sticking with van gaal, hope we finish outside top 4 and lose the FA cup final!!!!
