Louis van Gaal’s odds on being the next Premier League manager to leave his position have tumbled dramatically following a nightmare week for Manchester United.
United suffered elimination from the Champions League before tonight’s clash at the Vitality Stadium, which saw Bournemouth run-out 2-1 winners.
Bet Victor report that, at the start of the week, odds on Van Gaal leaving his post at Old Trafford were priced at 50/1. Tonight, those odds have fallen to just 5/1.
Speaking to the BBC after the match, the Dutchman said: "Two set-plays cost us. That is not normal for us because we give a lot of attention to organisation. They had a few variations and did it very well but still it cannot be.
"We played rather well in the first half and I had the feeling we could win in the second half but then a set play and you are behind in the score and it is very difficult to have a revival. The players had done everything but Bournemouth pressed on the ball in a fantastic way which made it difficult to get the equaliser or create chances.
"At half-time I spoke about how we had to do it in the second half. I don't talk about the past. I don't think it is of any benefit for me and the players. A rare error.
Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancellotti are believed to be the frontrunners for the role.
