The ultimate insult.

Louis van Gaal would do well to steer clear of social media if he wants to be able to look any Manchester United fan in the eye again. After another 0-0 draw midweek, supporters are reaching the end of their tether with the Dutch coach who can put them top of the Premier League on Saturday with a win at Leicester. A win, though, would require a goal from the seventh highest scorers in the English top flight and United fans aren't sure anymore if that is a realistic possibility. They didn't like the crossing under David Moyes, they didn't like his paper-thin defence but, now, they miss those wildly unpredictable days of seventh place. It's gotten that bad that some are actually pining for the Scotsman. "At least David Moyes..." that's really happening. At least Moyes was good at one of two elements. Louis is only good at one of two elements. https://twitter.com/MalikJafson/status/669859690520576001 Louis needs to go before his team reaches the top. https://twitter.com/trafford64/status/669831357749678080 At least Moyes was kind enough to let United go behind every week so they could try to fight back. https://twitter.com/thisisthejuan93/status/669649920224313349 #SorryDavid https://twitter.com/OfficialSkinny1/status/669806880005427200 At least Moyes gave us all a good laugh. https://twitter.com/kartickro9/status/669636198785265664 At least Moyes... just f*ck off, Louis. https://twitter.com/1LewisBurton/status/669859015124480000 God loves a trier. https://twitter.com/JamesStruthers1/status/669629152555700224 Now if Moyes could just get it right in England. https://twitter.com/TheAntonioCross/status/669636170297565185 You're excused, David. https://twitter.com/apcmtb/status/669634368902680577 That's fair enough. https://twitter.com/RebeccaKnight01/status/669633011965644800 This undefeated business is overrated. https://twitter.com/callumrennie_/status/669631431921033216 No-one has ever dropped so quickly. https://twitter.com/pahrol/status/669628448323801088 If sadistic spankings are your tipple. https://twitter.com/Jack_htfc1/status/669627145065508864 At least we knew Moyes was shit. https://twitter.com/SlickRule/status/669626596349865988 At least Moyes had harder teams to play agai.. what? https://twitter.com/RFFH/status/669585483194900480 Cross the f**king thing! https://twitter.com/Manchesterspeak/status/660030830169989120 There we have it. Longing for a return of cross-gate. Manchester United fans really have come full circle.
