The Dutchman saw his side beaten 2-0 by Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium and, with his future the subject of hot debate, gestures to supporters on his way off the pitch.
Is this the end of the road for Louis van Gaal? The Manchester United manager is understood to be on the brink of losing his job after his side suffered their fourth consecutive Premier League defeat, losing 2-0 to Stoke City on Boxing Day.
The Dutchman has been adamant that he is the man to turn around the Red Devils’ fortunes but frustration among supporters continues to grow and some bookmakers are already paying out on him being the next top-flight boss to lose his job.
As he walked off the pitch at the end of United’s loss to the Potters, TV cameras caught Van Gaal taking a moment to wave to his side’s traveling supporters – was it a wave goodbye or an acknowledgement of a poor performance?
