Report: Two Manchester United Players To Lose Job If Van Gaal Stays At Old Trafford

In a strange turn of events, Juan Mata and Ander Herrera could lose their status as Manchester United players if Louis Van Gaal remains the manager at Old Trafford, report the Times. Both the players have often been out looked in favour of other players and this has left them with no choice but to look for greener pastures away from Old Trafford.

The Daily Mail claim that the Spanish duo are leading a revolt against Van Gaal, who has come under increasing pressure recently.

While Ander Herrera has failed to establish himself as the first teamer despite performing admirably as the engine of the side when afforded a chance, Mata has been deployed in a less preferred wide role. With Euro 2016 in sight, and a lot of their participation depending on their performance at the club level, the duo is on the lookout for opportunities to play continuously in their preferred positions.

Should Van Gaal leave United and Jose Mourinho take his place, it would mean the end of Mata at Old Trafford going by the past and in some ways the Spaniard is merely preparing for the inevitable.
