Manchester United sack Louis van Gaal; Red Devils’ fans over the moon [Best Tweets]

Louis van Gaal has been relieved of his duties as Manchester United manager less than 48 hours after winning the FA Cup with the Red Devils. Twitter could not contain its joy as the long suffering fans of Manchester United were finally granted their wish. 

 

The worst kept secret of the New Year is finally out: Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been sacked by the club after failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League. This season, the Red Devils couldn’t manage to challenge for the Premier League, crashed out of the Champions League and were knocked out of the Europa League by arch rivals Liverpool.

The Iron Tulip will leave Manchester United fans with a lot of memories though. His tenure may not have been very successful, but he was among the most humorous — often inadvertently so — managers we’ve seen in the Premier League for a long time.

His dive in front of the match official, requesting players to be more horny, accusations of ‘sex masochism’ — all of these memories will form an enduring legacy for the Dutchman.

On a more professional front, he has won United the FA Cup and nurtured a crop of youngsters who could end up being the future of the club. Perhaps one day in the future we can look back at his tenure at Old Trafford and it will not look like the underachieving, poor, boring and saddening couple of years that it looks like at present.

There has not been an official confirmation of the next manager, but there is little doubt of his identity.

England legend Gary Lineker expressed faux surprise at the day’s events, while also mentioning the next manager of Manchester United.
