Premier League Manager Close To Imminent Sack

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has lost the support of players and fans, and his days in the job are numbered, according to a Sunday Supplement guest on Skysports.

The Dutchman’s 18-month tenure at Old Trafford looks to be nearing an end, with United enduring a dismal run of form which has seen them eliminated from the Champions League, Capital One Cup and stutter in the Premier League.

Their Boxing Day defeat at Stoke City – their fourth consecutive loss in all competitions – left the Reds nine points adrift of leaders Leicester and three points off the top four.

Van Gaal is expected to be in the United dugout when Chelsea visit in the Premier League on Monday.

But, speaking on the Sunday Supplement, Charlie Wyett of The Sun believes it is now just a matter of time before an “isolated” Van Gaal is relieved of his duties.

“Van Gaal has handled the situation badly,” Wyett said. “He lost the players a few weeks ago and he’s lost the majority of the fans now.

“He doesn’t know what to do, he is panicking and it’s reflecting in his team. He has handled the whole situation badly, last week, for example, when he tried to turn everything on the media and walking out of his press conference.
