Man United humbled in League Cup

In just his third match in charge of Manchester United, Louis van Gaal oversaw one of the most humiliating losses in the club's illustrious history on Tuesday.

The record 20-time English champion timidly capitulated to MK Dons, losing 4-0 to the third-tier club in the second round of the League Cup.

Hired to halt the decline under David Moyes in the post-Alex Ferguson era, van Gaal had already endured a loss and a draw in his first two Premier League matches before one of three possible routes to silverware ended in Milton Keynes.
