Revealed: Bookies have already paid out on Manchester United sacking Louis van Gaal

BOOKMAKER Paddy Power has paid out on Louis Van Gaal being sacked as Manchester United manager after their 2-0 defeat to Stoke City.

 

Louis van Gaal looks set to leave Manchester United

 

Goals from Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic at the Britannia Stadium consigned United to their fourth loss in a row.

With increasing speculation over his future, Paddy Power are confident the Dutchman will receive the axe.

Paddy Power said: "Ho ho ho… Merry Christmas! After today’s defeat Van Gaal’s position at United looks dodgier than cold turkey on Boxing Day so we decided to payout on a Van Gaal exit."

United next face Chelsea on Monday with former Blues manager Jose Mourinho the leading candiate to take over at Old Trafford.
