Manchester Evening News Turns on United Manager Louis van Gaal

The message is loud and clear in Friday's Manchester Evening News: "LVG must go."

Louis van Gaal's Manchester United slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of FC Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday, and the local paper has now turned on the Dutchman.

The Red Devils look unlikely to finish in the Premier League's top four this season, and Europa League success is looking increasingly like their best chance at returning to the Champions League next season.

Van Gaal has another year to run on his contract at Old Trafford, but reports linking the likes of Jose Mourinho and Mauricio Pochettino with the United hot seat have grown stronger in recent weeks.

Is it time for United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to part ways with the 64-year-old?
