London: Embattled Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal suffered a fresh blow when the Premier League club&rsquo;s share price dipped to its lowest level in over three years on Monday.

Van Gaal has been engaged in a battle to hold onto his job for much of a troubled season and that struggle was hardly helped by news that United&rsquo;s share position isn&rsquo;t much healthier than their league status.
United&rsquo;s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were dented when Chelsea striker Diego Costa scored to rescue a 1-1 draw against Van Gaal&rsquo;s team, who are now six points adrift of the top four.
Investors concerned The possibility of failing to secure a place in Europe&rsquo;s lucrative flagship tournament clearly concerned investors as United&rsquo;s share price dropped from $14.50 (&pound;10.05, 12.95 euros) to $13.86 on Monday.
That figure is the lowest price since December 2012, meaning not even during the darkest days of David Moyes&rsquo;s reign had United&rsquo;s shares been valued so lowly.
United&rsquo;s share price dropped by 2.6 per cent in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange before rising above the $14 mark again in the afternoon.
The club&rsquo;s financial position remains strong, given their world record &pound;750 million kit deal with Adidas, but United&rsquo;s performances on the pitch and their league position are of clear concern to those who invest in the club.
Investors will get their chance to grill United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward during a conference call on Thursday, when the club&rsquo;s second-quarterly results of 2016 will also be announced.
