Hanegem spoke out about it, claiming that their football makes him cry.
Dissenting voices were heard again on Wednesday when United put their Champions League last 16 place in jeopardy with a 0-0 draw in their penultimate group game against PSV Eindhoven.
While we’re looking cumbersome and lacklustre in front of our opponent’s goal this year, a defence led by Smalling has become the Premier League’s best up until this point and long may it continue.
“If you can spend £300 million, then you do not buy such a bunch of cake bakers”, said the former midfielder.
The former Feyenoord great concluded, “Van Gaal is a good trainer when his team book’s results, because then everything is accepted”.
“Van Gaal has got experience he’s done it at other clubs”, he added. Look at Holland in the World Cup.
Van Gaal, of course, isn’t the club’s first fearsome ruler but his inability to alter that approach – like Alex Ferguson did in his latter years in charge – is his biggest flaw, according to Parker. I am a lover (of football).
“If you look at the success of Bayern Munich at the time he was there and the success they are having now under Pep Guardiola, that is all part of Van Gaal’s work as well, when he introduced [Frank] Ribery and [Arjen] Robben on the wings”.
The Red Devils are now third in the Premier League and just one point adrift of leaders Manchester City, but their style of play in an attacking sense has been heavily scrutinised in recent weeks.
In contract, Herrera is one of those few players, who injects pace and creativity into the side, but surprisingly he is often being ignored by the Dutchman.
But the 27-year-old could find himself replaced next summer by the Germany superstar, who has already been targeted by Old Trafford chief Louis van Gaal.
Ahead of their home encounter against West Ham United at the weekend, Van Gaal’s men have drawn five of their last eight games in all competitions. The style is not what fans expect at United but you have to be patient.
