WHERE DO I ACTUALLY START PRAISING VAN GAAL? After watching the pre-season tournament, there are lots of things LVG has done to this United squad. 1. LVG has ensured that the lack of innovation from United is now a thing of the past. Under Moyes, all United could do was to punt balls into the box. Under LVG, United can now construct more than 15 passing moves leading to goals. You can see this in the type of swashbuckilng football we play. 2. LVG has tremendously improved the mentality of these players. Under Moyes, we had a coach who was satisfied with draws against lower opposition. LVG has brought back that winning mentality we used to see under Sir Alex. 3. This is what I used to complain about under the Moyes era. LACK OF MIDFIELDERS GETTING INTO THE BOX! Under Van Gaal, the midfielders now time their runs perfectly. It was evidenced in the game against Liverpool, Roma & LA Galaxy. Now our midfielders and wingers get into dangerous positions while anticipating the ball, a completely new aspect of the United game since Paul Scholes hammered them from distances in the hey days of Ruud Van NIstelrooy. WEAKNESS 1. Our only weakness so far is our defence. With 3 stalwarts of the United defence leaving in one fell swoop, cover is needed in that area. Two defensive signings, I believe, will make United much more formidable going into the new season. GGMU [[manu]]
