Could Van Gaal be still be getting some form of compensation from Bayern after his sacking that will be nullified if he takes a new club positions before a certain date? I've heard of such clauses before but not sure how much of that is just mindless speculation.

I'm not overly impressed with those Van Gaal quotes in the Guardian piece by Jamie Jackson. He seems too eager to build himself up and take credit for other's successes. I just hope his best years are not behind him and we are not left with an arrogant autocrat with an over inflated opinion of himself.

no - he is employed as the Dutch national manager.

Been told that Van Gaal and Shaw are imminent. Hold up due to United wanting to end the season and some issues with Dutch FA.

There is no chance Bebe will play for us next season.


Why would he stick around when we don't have Champion's League football anymore?

Because Bebe cares and wants to bring the club back to its former glory!

I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't attempt to train our own managers; we should!

I'll suggest it then!

That "bootroom" crap held Liverpool back for years. Manchester United are a massive enterprise and should be headhunting the best managers in the world, not focusing on promoting less experienced people from within simply because they subscribe to certain values.

We got Robbie Fowler and Mcateer in work tomorrow, doing a Hangout and unveiling the new away kit, it's all set up now, may take a wander down and have a look

Yeah I mean we should be looking to train managers from within but we should ultimately always appoint the best person for the job.

The best training a manager can ever get is to manage. If Giggs wants the job, he should leave united and learn the trade of management at smaller clubs.

I cant wait for LVG, im very excited by it. I cant wait to get behind a manager that I can believe in ya know. Iv no problem giving him time because I know utd are a rebuilding job but not as big as some may say.

Your not going to change utd's style over night, it will take LVG at least 2 seasons I believe.

Would you still support LVG if we finished outside top 4 next year?

If he played exciting football and we could actually see what he was trying to do then yes, 100%.

With Moyes nobody had any idea what he was up to and the football was just dull and tepid

I'm sure he would provided there was a clear implementation of a new style and good players brought in in the transfer market.

That's what everyone wanted with Moyes also. Instead, we got one good player (Mata) but dross performances and a terribly stagnant style of play on the pitch.

It's not just about the final position; it's about signs of progress. I would want top 4 but if we fell barely outside and we could see attempts at progress, I wouldn't mind.

Yap once I see improvement, ill be fully behind him

I cant for next season tbh

That is not a straight forward yes or no answer.

Performances, style of play, signs of improvement, team selections and formations among other things play an important factor.

As had been said before, had Moyes got us outside the top 4 but by a narrower margin and with a clear to see plan in the way he played and signs of improvement throughout the year then a lot more people would have been in favour of him staying.

In the same way, had we finished inside the top 4 this year playing the way we did all year long, just with better luck on our sides, I still wouldn't have been in favour of keeping Moyes

billyhead

Lets be realistic folks. LVG is not going to perform miracles in his 1st season in charge. I believe its going to take 2 or 3 transfer windows to get a saud capable of performing to its past glories. If we get top 4 next season it will have been a solid start to his career as manager. I just cant understand people saying that we get the man in and we will all round us. Some people need a reality check.

irishfeen

Ha ill remind ye all of them posts if we finish outside the top 4 and ye are freaking out

I don't particularly think anyone here expects a title tilt next year, you can however look at Liverpool as an example of what can be achieved with no Europe, some very good players and a bit of luck. Anything is possible and being honest it's that optimism that makes me excited for LVG. It's a world away from a few weeks ago under Moyes.

I think that people are getting excited by the appointment but I don't believe most fans are getting ahead of themselves

We should ban the name Moyes for any utd thread. He would be like Voldemort of utd thread. Moyes will be he who must not be named

I'm gonna risk being proven wrong here by not being bothered going over the last few pages to double check this, but I don't think anyone is saying this.

People want Van Gaal in because he seems to have the right mentality for a top club and doesn't seem to take any sh"t, so should be the right man to gets us back on track. Don't think too many are claiming, realistically at least, that he will be winning us the domestic treble next year.

Interesting nasri left out of the world cup squad I know its our rival teams player but odd, he had a good season

There really is no need, I think we can all just move on now. He didnt intentionally fail, he is still a good manager, he seems like a very decent human being. No need to be petty about the situation now it has been dealt with

Clichey too left out, obvious they want a bit of harmony in the squad this time round. Nasri's missus has gone nuts on twitter supposedly!

Im not a fan of Nasri, hes too hit and miss.

Wouldn't be surprised much if Van Gaal had United challenging for the title.

Lvg would get more time than he who shouldnnot be named simply because hes a proven winner of many titles..

I see De Gea made it into the Spain World Cup squad. Presume as understudy to Casillas.
Is Lopez from Real Madrid dropped or injured?

Also Adnan made it into the Belgium squad, interesting to see if he gets any game time in Brazil.
