Remember when Louis van Gaal impressed everyone by dominating group play of the World Cup? And then finished and impressive third place? How about that time Van Gaal led Manchester United to an undefeated pre-season and an International Champions Cup title? Well, it’a all ancient history now as United blew an easy one at home to Swansea City in the opener, only earned a draw at Sunderland and got blow out of the building 4-0 by something called an MK Dons or something like that.
I can say without hyperbole, WTF?
As you saw in the video above Louis van Gaal is still winless in his time as United boss. And he said that football is a game of chances and creating chances, and Man United are just not doing that right now. It’s not time to panic yet, but it is well past time to be concerned.
The Iron Tulip does indeed need to do something drastic to right the ship. Only Liverpool supporters believe in the David Moyes comparisons right now, but still…things are not good.
