Juan Laurel reporting
Manchester united lost 2-0 to stoke city at the Britannia Stadium with goals from Bojan Krkic
and Marko Arnautovic in the 19th and 26th minute respectively.
Manchester United have now gone three consecutive matches without a win in the premiership, piling more pressure on beleaguered manager Louis Van Gaal as he fights to save his job.
At the final whistle Van Gaal had the haunted look of a man running out of ideas and time to turn around a team whose season is collapsing around them. Van Gaal had demanded apologies from the media but, after this, should expect them from his players while delivering one himself also to the club.
So far there has been little real appetite to sack Van Gaal from the United hierarchy despite Jose Mourinho’s overtures to succeed him. But that is being severely tested right now after a fourth straight defeat in all competition and a seventh match in a row in all competition now without a win.
