Van Gaal era costs United $1billion

Almost one billion dollars has been written off the value of Manchester United since Louis van Gaal became manager.   This season the market capitalisation of the club has fallen by $412m from $2 billion to $1.58 billion.

On the plus side, commercial revenues are booming and the new Premier League television contract will kick in next season.  However, if United fail to qualify for the Champions League, it could cost them £50m.
