From the Manchester Evening News:
Donald Trump is giving Democratic Americans a good laugh right now and across the pond Louis van Gaal is amusing Mancunian City fans.
Van Gaal, like Trump, is an idiosyncratic individual with huge financial backing but questionable methods and a vocal, if blinkered, following. The Republicans cannot sack Trump, though. Manchester United can.
...
Outfought, outrun, outthought and outplayed by Bournemouth. Yes, it really has come to this. As one United fan opined on Saturday, Van Gaal will see the defeat at Bournemouth as an improvement, since they did not score at Dean Court in 1984.
...
United have an injury list longer than the petition to block Trump from entering the UK, but that was a redundant excuse the moment Van Gaal insisted on a 23-man squad for a gruelling nine-month season comprising domestic and European football. "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail," was Roy Keane's mantra. And it applies to Van Gaal.
...
An aberration for United used to be finishing second - not finishing fourth. Cash, though, is prioritised over glory. United have 66 'club partners' and 23 senior players.
Trump would approve.
