Stoke increased the pressure Louis van Gaal as Manchester United suffered a fourth straight league defeat in all competitions for the first time in 54 years thanks to a 2-0 defeat at the Britannia Stadium.Speculation began to build on Van Gaal’s future at Old Trafford before Christmas and his plight was not helped by first-half strikes from Bojan krkic and Marko Arnautovic.Wayne Rooney – dropped to the bench from league game for the first time in his career – was brought on at the break in place of the disappointing Memphis Depay.Defeat means United, who face Chelsea on Monday, drop down to sixth 6th on goal difference and Van Gaal’s positions is sure to come under serious scrutiny once again.Meanwhile, Stoke move up to eighth, threepoints off the top four for a few hours at least.
