i obviously think it would be more than fair or i wouldn't have been pointing it out for 2 years

There are examples all around us of teams with worse players than we have becoming better teams through diligent coaching & management. Making the most of what you have is equally as important as improving by spending £#%&!ing fortunes. As routinely listed, we've spent more in the last two years under Van Gaal than Leicester have in their entire history combined. Let alone just last year when they managed to go from bottom of the league to Champions.

Wake up & smell the gouda, the biggest issue is the mong nosed @#%&! in charge, not the likes of Mata.

Surely Leicester are too much of a freak occourance to use as some kind of example?

Bearing in mind that it's much more difficult to play for United than it is Leicester, do you genuinely look at our side last night and over recent weeks and think it should be that much better? Will Rojo, Valencia, Smalling, Lingard and Herrera become top players under another manager? Would Rashford and Martial be making more of an impact? Would Carrick and Rooney get younger?

There's just not a single inch of give with critics, is there? You can dislike van Gaal without being intent on picking apart every little other aspect of the problems we have. This team isn't winning anything soon, with or without van Gaal.

We're gonna win an FA Cup with or without him tbf.

Or are we?!

F O'F was Moyes. We hoped LvG would be Docherty but instead he proved to be an even shitter Sexton
