Michael Owen states prediction for Louis van Gaal’s Man United future

Michael Owen believes Manchester United will stick with Louis van Gaal until the end of the season.

The Red Devils were dumped out of the Europa League on Thursday night after a 3-1 aggregate defeat by Liverpool at Old Trafford.

United have fallen off the pace in the race to secure a top-four finish after a 1-0 loss to West Bromwich Albion in their last Premier League game.

Van Gaal’s side were unable to beat West Ham last weekend as Anthony Martial cancelled out Dimitri Payet’s opener in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Former United midfielder Savage doesn’t believe Van Gaal will survive if the Red Devils lose to Manchester City in Sunday’s derby.

However, former Liverpool and United striker Owen believes Van Gaal won’t be sacked until the end of the season.

“I think LvG will have the job until the end of the season,” Owen told BT Sport.
