Louis van Gaal has accrued players worth a total of £150million, been handed a gentle list of fixtures to begin the campaign, and was afforded breathing room from the pressure of continuing Sir Alex Ferguson’s legacy. But, remarkably, the stunning defeat by Leicester means Manchester United have started this season worse than they did under David Moyes. With Moyes in charge, United gained seven points from their opening five Premier League games – as well as picking up victories in the Community Shield, Champions League and Capital One Cup – while Van Gaal has collected only five points and was dumped out of the League Cup 4-0 by MK Dons.
