The team and manager get the once over on the Internet.
Check in to Sunderland vs Manchester United
All of the good vibes that had been gathering at Manchester United following Louis van Gaal’s appointment as manager were discarded on Saturday following their 2-1 home Premier League defeat to Swansea City.
The Red Devils had won all of their matches in pre-season and with van Gaal at the helm looked to be getting back to their best, but the loss to the Swans was a huge setback for the club.
Typically it didn’t take long for the Internet trolls to start taking the boss and the team to pieces and here are some of the funniest memes and videos.

Although it’s a little early to start dismissing van Gaal as a failure it’s clear that improvement is needed and it’s highly likely that the Dutchman will be entering the transfer market once again before the window shuts on September 1.
