Van Gaal "worse than Moyes"

Manchester United’s spectacular 5-3 defeat at newcomers Leicester City set off a flood of criticism on Monday, with the British press branding manager Louis van Gaal as “worse than David Moyes.”

The backpage of Monday’s Sun newspaper, via 101 Great Goals, mocks the United boss Van Gaal for the shambles of a performance, particularly in light of the huge investment made over the summer - £157m to be precise.

“£157m spent and you’re even worse than Moyes,” screams the Sun’s backpage.

According to 101 Great Goals, the newspaper is correct. After five games this season, Van Gaal’s United have five points; the much-maligned and lampooned David Moyes had seven from as many games.

The criticism for Van Gaal comes just when United seemed to have turned a corner and it seems the Red Devils still have a lot of work to do.

Worse, Moyes didn’t have Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind or Marcos Rojo at his disposal.
