Win first, style second.
With the amount of money we will supposedly spend and everything I have heard about LvG, style will have to accompany winning.
But but, we have so many injury prone players!

Think RvP was talking more in terms of mental intensity than physical intensityBut but, we have so many injury prone players!
Every training session is very intense. He is on our backs every minute. There is no space to relax, he demands full focus,' Van Persie told The Sun.
'We work very hard for a maximum 1.25 hour, never longer. But these 75 minutes are enormously intense.'
Players that aren't capable of passing the ball, creating space and keeping possession aren't good enough for Manchester United.One other worrying aspect of the appointment is that fans seem 100% sure he will succeed as a manager.
He is untested in the English league and there are no guarantees it will be a bed of roses, and will the players be capable of adopting his style?

Like last summer we were supposed to alleviate these worries with signings, all information so far suggests we will be starting again....again.I'm worried by this too. Well not worried, but I feel as though some may be setting themselves up for disappointment.
Many are talking as if Sir Alex himself has just come back as manager. As if it's back to business, when actually it's welcome to chapter two of the unknown.
We haven't had the clear-cut best squad in the country for a while now (in my opinion, anyway), and we haven't got the undisputed best manager in the league any more. The playing field is even between us and the rest.
Unless we get it right in the summer, I'm certainly not going to be in the "Will it be Liverpool or Arsenal dropping out of the top four for us?" group, as many (not just on line) seem to be.

Not impressed with him so far. Seems to care more for his national team than us.
Don't even care that it is a repost. Learn it people.

Not sure if serious......Give me a break. We offered him the job knowing he had a World Cup to go to, managing his home nation no less. You expect him to just ignore them?

Absolutely I do. He should be over here sorting out Woody and getting transfers done rather than trying to win the WC with his home nation. It's a disgrace.Give me a break.

Well, there is nothing to stop you from being impatient. Your mindset should be readjusted because we do have a Giggsy taking charge during this period. And to compare Moyes with Van Gaal, I think it is a bit disrespectful for our new manager!Somewhat concerned Van Gaal won't be doing anything until after the World Cup.
Hope he doesn't 'do a Moyes' and rush coaching, tactical preparation and important transfers.
Just because he's got a good track record as a manager, does not necessarily mean he can wave his hand from afar and make magical things happen.
To do a job properly you actually have to be there.

He's the Dutch cleverley.Van Gaal is an ideal candidate to for this club. I expect him to bring Clasie with him.
In a transfer forum.No idea where else to put this because it sounds like pure nonsense to me.
Big rumour from Toulon Tournament was that #mufc had been in talks with Damian Comolli -no idea if this is right but lots talking about it

In a transfer forum.
The thing i don't get is why many of people keep obsessing with sport directors and stuff. I mean only with City it kind of worked. And then again it's not like it "worked", more like they just did, what they have been doing. And given their financial muscle came on top. Liverpool turned good, only when they returned to a "classic" manager structure. Newcastle is a laughing stock with Kinner appointment. Baldini while bring lots of player has not exactly delivered. You still feel the Spurs were in a much better position under Harry, also before they used to sign Modric, Bale, Walker, Berbatov, so it's not like their recruitment was bad, or even became better.
I personally regard Damian Comolli, Frank Arnesen and the likes as a professional hustlers.
No one is "obsessing" over Sporting Directors. They're good at negotiations and are familiar with the lay of the market is all and that can be helpful to a newbie CEO like Woodward. If Comolli can help extract the players Van Gaal wants then why not ? No one if asking for him to decide the targets. He'll just do what he's good at - smoothen the transfers out a bit and liaison with the selling club using his extensive contracts. He did help Tottenham land Bale, Modric, Berbatov above interest from others bigger clubs after all.
He worked for Liverpool. That's all that needs to be said. It'd be like inviting Sammy Lee to be first team coach. He worked for Liverpool. He has no place at United.
