LOUIS VAN GAAL was booed by his club’s own fans after Manchester United ended their Premier League campaign by beating Bournemouth 3-1 at Old Trafford tonight.
Introduced to the crowd for a post-match address, the Dutchman was booed by pockets of the home support, before declaring, somewhat ironically: “I want to thank you for your unconditional support.”

As Bournemouth’s fans goaded him with chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning!”, Van Gaal added: “You never let us down. Thank you for that. We will bring the FA Cup home to you. You deserve it. Thank you.”
The result secured a Europa League group place for United, while Saturday’s FA Cup final against Crystal Palace may yet yield a piece of silverware.
But it was a tame end to the season, at a two-thirds full stadium, which laid bare United’s stagnation under Van Gaal.
The lap of appreciation that followed his address was cursory.
