Manchester United’s hopes of salvaging their season in the Europa League suffered a stinging setback when they lost 2-1 at Danish side Midtjylland in the first leg of their last-32 clash on Thursday.
With the triple European Cup winners already immersed in a pall of gloom after a hugely underwhelming campaign, the loss to a club founded in 1999 is a new low for Louis van Gaal’s men.
Expectedly, fans have renewed calls for the sack of the Dutchman while asking the club’s hierarchy to hire jobless Portuguese manager, Jose Mourinho recently sacked by Chelsea.
Surely this is the end for LVG. How can Woodward and the United board not react to this shambles. #LVGOUT

Losing to a club which was founded in 1999 & haven’t played a competitive game for 2 months.
Absolutely Shocking. #LVGOUT
