Louis van Gaal being criticised for his style at Manchester United is nothing new - it cost him his job at Bayern Munich but won him the Champions League at Ajax

Louis van Gaal is facing widespread criticism for the style of Manchester United's football at the moment. 

United, the critics say, are too rigid, too dull and nowhere near the swashbuckling excitement of the great United teams of years gone by.

The bad news for United supporters is that this is not the first time their manager has failed to entertain at a club.
