Van Gaal's Stunning Manchester United Transformation by RobinHez(m): 10:36pm On Apr 12, 2015 |
If there is one thing that sums up Manchester United’s transformation under Louis Van Gaal, it is the identity of their four goalscorers in this breathless derby victory. Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini, Juan Mata and Chris Smalling have all faced significant questions over their futures in the last year - but tonight they are the golden boys of the Van Gaal revolution. In a pre-season friendly here last summer, Fellaini was jeered off the pitch. He was the symbol of United’s disastrous season under David Moyes and the club tried to force him out. When the Belgian was substituted seven minutes from time on Sunday, 75,000 supporters gave him a well-deserved standing ovation for a performance that encapsulated a United display full of intensity, desire and movement. While summer arrivals like Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Marcos Rojo warm the bench, Van Gaal has come good on his promise to improve the players he inherited at Old Trafford. The Dutchman prides himself on his coaching skills but even he might have thought he had is work cut out with some of the players that struggled so badly under Moyes. Young’s most memorable moments for United until this point have probably been related to diving or bird droppings falling in his mouth - but he tore City apart, providing two assists to add to his 14th minute equaliser. There will be a sense of frustration among some United fans that Van Gaal took so long to get it right. He spent months ignoring Mata and Ander Herrera while testing various formations that produced stodgy and unconvincing performances. Now, in the 4-3-3 that Van Gaal has preferred throughout his career, United are gearing up for a title challenge next season, with this victory all but confirming that they will return to the Champions League. It is a reflection of a manager who is a proven winner. Van Gaal has faced some deserved questions this season over some of his decisions, but no-one has ever tried to argue with a CV that includes titles in three different countries. Source: goal.com |
