LondonThe 64-year-old Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is at risk of a being sacked as his side visit Stoke City in the weightiest fixture of the Premier Leagues jam-packed Boxing Day programme.
After a run of six winless games, the Dutchman is reportedly one or two bad results away from the sacking. He has seen his team drop to fifth place by virtue of a goal difference in the Premier League and exit the Champions League.
The soccer pundits have delivered their verdicts whether Louis Van Gaal should continue as a manager for Manchester United.
Amid intense speculation that he is on the brink of being replaced by Jose Mourinho, Van Gaal stormed out of his pre-game press conference that lasted for six minutes, wishing reporters merry Christmas.
In a subsequent interview with MUTV, he acknowledged that the trip to Stoke was a must-win game.
When you have lost three times in a row, then you need a victory. We have focused ourselves to do that, but it is not easy, he said.
Hughes, a former United striker, expects Van Gaal to turn the situation around, but is unsentimental about the prospect of adding to the Dutchmans woes.
