Van Gaal who was praised for his tactics and shrewd guidance of the Holland national team in this year world cup just couldn't manage to replicate his success with his newly joined club Manchester United. He could just managed 2 draws and 1 loss. The 4-0 loss came against League Two side Milton Keynes Dons @MK Dons in the League Cup. With all due respect to Milton Keynes Dons, but have anyone of you heard of this football club? They lost to them 4-0 not some by fluke 1-0 kinda of win. It is complete humiliation for a club like Manchester United.

This clearly shows whatever methods Van Gaal is using, no matter how sound it is according to him, isn't working out with the current squad of players that he has. He should be reminded that his Holland national has more versatile and talented players so he could have tactical options and it is just not possible to apply in the current within a short span of time. It has to be introduced gradually. I don't see how club supporters have faith in him given the brilliant start he has made. Moyes is not only smiling but laughing in his sleep.
Van Gaal, according to tribalfootball, said that he need over a year to get things right at Manchester United and is the club that broken to warrant so much of time for him to set things right? He is buying himself more time and then when things become good before one year is over, he will be considered to be great for turning things around so fast. The first thing he need to set right is to remove the person sitting next to him, the wannabe coach Ryan Giggs.
And according to bleacher report, Louis van Gaal has outlined Angel Di Maria's versatility as one of the reasons he opted to pay a British-record transfer fee for the Argentinian, likening the new Manchester United star's transfer to his decision to sign Arjen Robben for Bayern Munich in 2009.
But he forgot one thing that Arjen Robben is extremely good in which Di Maria couldn't potentially matched up to and that is diving skill, how to have hang time while diving. Frankly Robben would have won gold medals at the Olympics if he has chosen to be a diver.
Di Maria is a big capture for Manchester United and a loss for Real Madrid as can be seen in the world cup 2014, Argentina isn't as threatening with him out of the team injured and it would have been a different story if he isn't injured and would play the perfect combination with Messi.
