From Moyes to Lonnick, United have changed managers by five managers since Ferguson's retirement, and Louis van Gaal, who once had high hopes, has been brought up again, because six years ago today, he left a impression on fans that is still unforgettable.
On February 28, 2016, British local time, the 27th round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Arsenal at home, with Marcus Rashford's 2 goals and 1 assist, the Red Devils led 3-2 in the 69th minute.
In the 75th minute, Herrera knocked down Alexis Sanchez while grabbing the ball in midfield, and the Arsenal star's fall to the ground was so exaggerated that he almost let the former receive a second yellow card! Van Gaal, believing Sanchez to be a fake fall, angrily complained to the fourth official.
Probably feeling that the language was not enough, van Gaal, who was already 65 years old, suddenly fell to the ground on his back to restore the scene of Sanchez's fall! At that moment, Manchester United assistant coach Giggs, the fourth official next to him, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, were stunned.
After the match, Louis van Gaal said: "I was too excited, I was too much, I have already apologized to the referee team. However, from then until now, this meme is still played by netizens in various P charts, and it has also become the most momentary impression left by the Dutch coach to Manchester United fans.
In the blink of an eye, 6 years have passed. Sanchez came from Arsenal to Manchester United and gone, Van Gaal has long been out of school, Manchester United manager from Jose Mourinho to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to Lonnick, even Wenger has been away from Arsenal for several years, however, these two teams have not been able to restore their glory, which is lamentable.
