Louis van Gaal reportedly given extra security staff following backlash from fans

It’s fair to say things aren’t going well for Louis van Gaal at the moment, but this is perhaps an overreaction.

The Manchester United manager watched his team lose 2-1 to Norwich on Saturday – making it six games without a win – and supporters were eager to vent their frustrations.

With fans in uproar at the poor run of results and dreary displays on the pitch, The Sun now claim that Van Gaal has been provided extra security staff to ensure his safety.
