Louis van Gaal overall performance with Manchester United

LVG made one of the worst season lately for Manchester United. He didn't satisfied The Red Devils fans by securing a Champions League spot this season, but at least he won the FA cup. After spending a lot of money on the market  the Dutch football manager wasn't able to improve the attacking power enough. His performance this season was worst than the previous one, generating only 51% win ratio. They were boring and most of their wins were won by one goal, without creating a lot of shooting chances, most of the time with the control of the ball. Several times the fans screamed against van Gaal during the matches, requesting to be sacked.  Here is some interesting standing facts for this EPL season:

Total Shots: 17th

Goals Scored: 11th

Backwards Passes: 1st

Sideways Passes: 3th

Now after The Special One is taking over we will compare United's last season stats to the Mourinho most recent successful one - season 2015-2016 with Chelsea, so we can set a proper maximum expectations.
