Manchester United supporters, Media from all corners of the world have pleaded with Louis Van Gaal to play an attacking brand of football that they were accustomed to under Sir Alex Ferguson, who many regard as the greatest manager that Manchester United has ever had. Many have pinpointed the lack of adventure going forward, the sideways passing, the inability to penetrate defenses. Manchester United captain and legend Wayne Rooney has also come for criticism where the general consensus is that he is playing poor but many are divided on the reasons for his poor showings so far this season. Some supporters would question if it’s just a question of him not being good enough anymore or is it Louis Van Gaal style the reason, where players are given instructions which they must strictly adhere to, they’re also not given freedom.
Stakeholders of Manchester United must realize that Sir Alex Ferguson and Louis Van Gaal, though great managers have completely different style of management and style of play. Sir Alex Ferguson has focused on being direct, playing attacking football while Louis Van Gaal has concentrated on a possession based type of football and patience is required. Supporters are frustrated that Manchester United is too defensive but a lot can be said for keeping clean sheets.
What many don’t realize is that Manchester United is in a rebuilding phase and Louis was brought in because of his excellent track record of bringing along Young players. We have seen numerous Young players given a chance in the First team in addition to signing players with great potential. Managing Manchester United is not easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel, they are 1 point from the leaders after 14 games. I will take that, support Louis Van Gaal, he knows what he is doing.
