Real Madrid boss Ancelotti won the League and FA Cup double in his first season at Chelsea in 2009-10 but he thinks Van Gaal will struggle to do the same at Old Trafford – especially after imposing a new formation. Whereas Ancelotti inherited a relatively strong and settled team he says Van Gaal faces the problem of a major re-building job at United following the debacle under David Moyes last season when they finished seventh – their lowest position for 24 years. He said: “After [Sir Alex] Ferguson, it was more difficult for United, but they now have to rebuild a team. They have signed good players, but building a team is not easy and the Premier League is a very competitive league. “It will not be easy to win in the first year because there are many competitive teams who want to win. And it is not easy to implement a new system. “It is important that the players are convinced [about the formation], but it is difficult to say how long it will take. “Van Gaal is a very good and very experienced manager and Im sure he will do a fantastic job at United. He is a manager who has nothing to learn.” >
