Louis van Gaal's style of football has faced some staunch criticism over the past season. Not least for being a bit, well...boring snoring.

United legend Paul Scholes famously compared the team's performance to 'like watching paint dry'.

Former Reds' winger Andrei Kanchelskis went even further describing LVG's style as 'disgusting'.

Harsh words indeed, but they are as nothing compared to the opprobrium that has come the Dutch manager's way from the fans.

Van Gaal is nothing if not honest though even admitting that his team bore HIM at times.

But during today's slight victory over now-relegated Aston Villa, one fan couldn't even keep his eyes open long enough to be bored.

He was literally sent off to Slumberland by the Red Devils' performance.

Christopher Farrand uploaded a video from Old Trafford during the 1-0 win over Aston Villa of his mate Eddie nodding off.

Whether it's genuine of course, or just some jolly banter, is up for debate.

But this isn't even the first time a snoozing fan has been caught on camera.

One supporter was filmed snoozing in the stands in January during United's dire 1-0 win over Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

The unkind would suggest that the theatre of dreams is rapidly becoming a too literal name for Old Trafford.

Or maybe United fans are just wondering when they'll wake up from this nightmare?
