Van Gaal the new United manager.

[Thendo 1,088]

I think he will be good for them.

Giggs stays as assistant to LvG

[Pizy 17,860]

Unfortunately, they have a capable and competent manager again and really shouldn't have any trouble attracting players even without CL football. Can easily see them doing a Liverpool next season and challenge for the title.

Rumors of RvP getting the captaincy spells more trouble with Rooney, though. I think he'd be pissed about that. Still fail to see how you incorporate RvP, Rooney, Mata, Januzaj, and whatever other attacking players they buy.

Why did they fire Moyesy???

If this means that Liverpool will be kept out of the top 4 next season, then good.

[boshman 1,073]

I think that is good news for them. To be honest that is the sort of manager they should have appointed last summer. A big manager who has been in charge of big clubs and won big trophies. Still, glad they didn't because it was one hell of a laugh watching them crumble!!

One would like to think or hope that Arsenal's luck finally run out and finish outside the Top 4!

Regarding Van Gaal's appointment, think this would mean United are guaranteed to finish in the Top 4 and could well get back to challenging for the title, like Liverpool this season, given they have no European games to contend with. It will also be interesting how Mourinho 'plays' with Van Gaal, especially when the title race heats up, since they are pretty close and have a massive respect for one another.

This guy Van Gaal is a firework, the press will love him.

Can't wait till Rooney throws a tantrum and LVG drops the hammer on him.

They have three first-team defenders.

Phil Jones

Chris Smalling

Jonny Evans

Hold your horses there. They have a vast rebuilding job to do.

The More Carefully Chosen One, perhaps?

I don't disagree with that but in Van Gaal, they at least have an experienced manager with pedigree and track record that can get United back into the Top 4. It's not like they hired another David Moyes.

[Special Juan 27,104]

So we have had.....

The Special One

The Chosen One

Now.....The Other One.

[pakito 17]

Great manager , no doubt

[Drogzola 283]

I really wish Everton got a CL spot. I think this season was their best chance to for a while. Damn pity they couldn't keep it together.
