PIC: Manchester United fans reportedly hire a plane to deliver a not-so-subtle message to Louis van Gaal

Oh dear

How do you know that some football fans have more money than sense?

Well when they decide that flying a banner over a football ground is the best way to get a message across to the manager.

Manchester United have been here before of course, with David Moyes falling foul to a banner being flown over the club grounds when he was in charge over two seasons ago in March of 2014.

And it seems tonight judging by various reports online that a group of Manchester United fans are planning a similar stunt this weekend as the club host Norwich City.

Now to us the banner looks a bit small and unlikely to be seen from the sky, but a lot of Manchester United fans are delighted at the idea.

We can only see the ‘van Gaal’ but, but we doubt it’s a Happy Christmas greeting.

Some fans are delighted.

Although others feel it is ever so cringe
