Surprise, surprise on Boxing Day at the Brittania Stadium as Stoke City send Manchester United reeling to hell as the Red Devils again are defeated for the third match in a row and now Van Gaal’s position is desparate. The question now is who will lead the team againt Chelsea in two days time?
With a two first half goals by Bojan (19′) and Arnautovic (26′), Stoke City sent the Red Devils to their third defeat in a row and now Van Gaal’s position is in question as the fans demand his head.
The Red Devil did little to try and get into the game as Stoke were the better side all through the 90′. Only in the second 45′ with Rooney on the pitch in place of a disappointing Depay the Red Devils createdvsome good chances but Butland in goal for Stoke denied Fellaini and Martial from scoring that goal which could have chanted Man. United’s fortunes.
What will the future reserves for the Red Devils? It’s a question which still needs an answer.
