#247 – Van Gaal on the Brink




Rant Cast show

Summary: After a two-week break, the show this week catches up on Manchester United’s three defeats over the past fortnight. Those losses – to Wolfsburg, Bournemouth and Norwich City – leave Louis van Gaal close to dismissal, with supporters, players and perhaps the board having finally turned. Ed & Paul discuss a calamitous period for United and Van Gaal, with José Mourinho’s sacking at Chelsea opening the door to the Portuguese manager at Old Trafford. On the last episode of the year the pod also covers United’s busy Christmas period, which includes a trip to Stoke City, a home game against Chelsea, and a match with Swansea City at Old Trafford. Could Mourinho’s first game in charge of United really be against his former club?Thanks for listening this year. Your support and comments are always welcome. Happy winter festival of your choosing and here’s to a successful 2016!
