Manchester United summer target Arjen Robben says MUFC Manager Louis van Gaal will get the club back to the Champions League “where they belong.” Robben just played under Van Gaal during the summer on The Netherlands national team that finished third at the World Cup in Brazil. He believes the Iron Tulip is the perfect man to revive and restore the team that inhabits Old Trafford.
“I have worked with Louis van Gaal at Bayern as well as with Holland, so I have known him for a very long time,” Robben said.
“He’s one of the few coaches, I think, who can make teams play better. He makes players better.”
“United have some young, talented players and I have no doubts that he will do well at Old Trafford.”
“He’ll get Manchester United back into the Champions League next season, where they belong.”
“They are such a big club and that is where they belong.”
