    Jose Mourinho gone. Louis van Gaal on the ropes. Chelsea battling relegation. Manchester United no wins in seven. 

    When the fixture computer churned out this Christmas cracker back in June no-one could have predicted the above. Yet Van Gaal, 19 months into a three-year contract, finds his position under serious threat after a terrible run.

    Mourinho's availability following his Chelsea exit has done nothing to ease the speculation that there could be a managerial change at Old Trafford around the corner.

    "This club has big ambitions. I too have big ambitions. Together we will make history," boasted Louis van Gaal when he breezed into Old Trafford on 19 May 2014. Unfortunately for LVG it is the wrong kind of history that is threatening his 588-day reign as Manchester United boss.

    The Dutchman has overseen a run in which United have lost four matches in a row during a single season for the first time since 1961.

    Will United's final game of a trophy-less 2015 be Van Gaal's last in charge?
