Many felt that the defeat at Stoke might have been the final nail in the coffin for Louis van Gaal.
The loss at the Britannia was the latest on a dismal run for Manchester United, with many expecting the axe to fall on their manager in time for the game with Chelsea on Monday evening.
Despite reports that Ryan Giggs took charge of United's training session on Sunday, Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst has confirmed that Louis van Gaal has met with the rest of his squad at Manchester's Lowry Hotel.

The hotel is frequently used by the United squad on the eve of matches, and van Gaal's presence appears to confirm that he will remain at the helm for at least another 24 hours.
