The 64-year-old survived the festive period
when rumours about his job intensified
but his side’s form has scarcely improved
and could face the axe if he loses again at
the weekend

L o u i s van Gaal is again facing the
prospect of the sack if Manchester
United lose to Liverpool on Sunday,
according to The Times.

Speculation surrounding the
Dutchman’s future reached fever pitch
during the festive period following
defeat at Stoke and a goalless home
draw against Chelsea.

Despite intense pressure from certain
sections of support, United chiefs have
neglected the opportunity to move for
Jose Mourinho, currently unemployed
after he was dismissed by Chelsea in
December, and gave Van Gaal their
backing.

United’s form has scarcely improved
since the turn of the year, however,
and the last minute equaliser they
conceded in Tuesday’s pulsating 3-3
draw at Newcastle means they are now
entrenched in a battle for a top four
position, having fallen nine points
behind leaders Arsenal.

And according to reports, should
United lose at Anfield against their
fiercest rivals on Sunday the 64-year-
old will again be in danger of losing
his job.
