STATS: Man United’s dire away form under Van Gaal is their worst since 1989/90

Another trip, another defeat.

Man United fans who had travelled to Anfield for Thursday night's Europa League tie will have left with their head in their hands after yet another abject performance on the road from Louis van Gaal's charges. United lost 2-0 on the night and never truly threatened in a game that saw their possession strangled away by a superior Liverpool team on the night. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/708048602900406273 But struggles away from home are nothing new for the Red Devils and it's reflected by this shocking statistic about their away form. Out of the past 21 away games, United have lost ten and drawn five with only six wins in the bank. It's not been this bad for 27 years. https://twitter.com/DoronSalomon/status/708052536582868992 In that time, they've conceded a whopping 31 goals and the latest two mean that Liverpool only need one away goal at Old Trafford to ensure that United will need four to go through to the quarter-finals. It will take a hell of a lot of diving on his back for LVG to win his fans around now.
