I think I was the only one, but I quite liked LVG. It was just a bad time for him to join.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I liked him for his personality and the fact he won us the FA cup. It's genuinely the only time I've seen us win it so I'll forever like him for that.

The less said about his #Philosophy, the better!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think our youngsters would be in a much better position now had LVG stayed on than Jose coming in.

His biggest error was not bringing in a striker, we controlled games but couldn’t score. Would have like to see us with the signings made the season he left.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I’d agree with that. If he’d had the like of Pogba and Zlatan or even Lukaku things could have been different.

His transfer activity was not good at all.

It says a lot when Jose facking Mourinho becoming manager was a breath of fresh air for the players and fans.

Jose's got us playing the way that United should

The world cup needs characters like Van Gaal. I read that apparently Van Gaal was in the frame to replace Koeman, but the players weren’t keen on having a disciplinarian and wanted De Boer.

So there’s potential for it to blow up spectacularly, and I cannot wait to see what Van Gaal has to say if that happens.

De Boer has to go down in history as one of the worst managers ever.

Weren’t a load of the Dutch squad including vvd dead against LVG coming back? Sure I read somewhere a lot of the senior players were vehemently against his appointment?

Phil Jones’ looking to switch allegiances so he can be their corner taker.

I can’t imagine Depay is happy with LVG back 😂

This is the thing… I often see people talking about Van Gaal’s signings as if they were an obstacle he had to contend with.

For me, and I’ve said this before, he also gave up on his own signings too quickly. Memphis, Schneiderlin, Darmian… OK, so none of them exactly lit up OT but they were out of the side pretty quickly, as I remember, with no extended chance to play themselves back in.

To be fair Depay got to play above his level because of LVG.

I wonder if VVD has any hard feelings? He didn’t call him up for the world cup because he preferred Bruno Martins Indi, as I recall.

😂 they’ve still gotta get to the world cup first. Turkey looking good and knowing the Dutch there is a mass fail in there somewhere.

Aye could blow up before he even gets to the world cup. Hopefully not, it’s better when these things happen on the biggest stage. It’s why France are such a gift.

That was 7 years ago, so VVD was no where near his level.

But cost him a bronze medal and the chance to play in an international tournament. Van Dijk still hasn’t played in one, it may never happen for him.

That would imply that Southampton improved him massively from his days in the Dutch league/celtic. Which they didn’t. There was always a very good player there.,

Sure, maybe not better than Bruno Martins Indi at the time, or v Gaal was looking for different qualities.

Well there are always players missing out. And getting injured now is not LVGs fault.

Tbh I’m not really being serious. Van Dijk’s obviously improved massively since then, and Martins Indi was actually good that world cup.
