Manchester United suffered third straight defeat in the Premier League and extended their winless streak to 6 matches after losing 2-1 to Norwich City at Old Trafford. Their fortress of sorts seems to be losing its power.
Twitter exploded with recommendations and anger with most of their suggestions being- sack the manager. Louis Van Gaal faces major backlash from the Red Devils as they have ‘lost all hopes’. Some wanted to believe, some were just done.

Louis van Gaal said all the right things after the game today – but he wore the look of a man who thinks the end might be nigh

Should we expect LVG to bring out his memories as a #MUFC manager when he's sacked? I see him always writing on the bench
— Arsène (@ahobabagabo) December 19, 2015
I'm not usually one for talk like this as I believe a manager should be given time, but LVG has to go. #mufc

Week-in week-out, #MUFC provide a case-study for how pointless possession can be.

What I witnessed today was that LvG cares more about his suit getting wet than his team actually winning or saving face #MUFC

I feel like Louis van Gaal must have been writing his autobiography on the sidelines all this time. His career is coming to an end. #mufc

Like this tweet if you think Van Gaal shouldn't get sacked, so I can block you!

Where's the Van Gaal that subbed Krul on in the last minute to get them through to the World Cup final. Where is he?

Ryan Giggs finally stood up and showed his anger/frustration towards Louis van Gaal. A real statement to the club. pic.twitter.com/5Fm4kBqIBE"

If Pellegrini said 'Philosophy' like Van Gall did I would 2 foot him in the knee. Van Gaal lives in his own little world it seems.

Di Maria and Chicharito couldn't fit with Van Gaal but are both dominating with current clubs. Just pointing that out.
