I've not been this excited for the new season for a long time. Can't wait for the presser tomorrow. When's it on 2:30 or something?
I remember last season when Pepe Guardiola walked into his press conference and demanded that Bayern sign Thiago.
Hopefully he does the same tomorrow and demands Arturo Vidal!

We are doing actually fecking ball work? OMG OMG!
If i am correct 2:45.
You mean they're not being forced to run till they throw up, whilst the manager cackles on the sidelines? What is this new devilry?
Look at Giggsy at 0:55.. just waiting, waiting for that moment of opportunity to collect the cones.
Delighted with his appointment. So much positivity around the club now. He'll improve the young players we have, he can motivate those who have dipped in standards and has the character to continue getting the best out of our group. Moreover his achievements make him an intimidating opponent for opposition.
This time last season under Moyes I was hopeful of a successful tenure but the hope was as much to do with fear of failure. Moyes was a gamble that backfired spectacularly. With LVG I don't fear failure. I'm calm because he is a man who is prepared for this job. Moyes if anything was too complacent in his last years at Everton because he had a job for life and a top 8 finish was not a tough task. Yes I respect his continued achievements there but certainly that hard lined, intense Scot of his early years at Goodison was gone. He was pals with journos which is fine when at Everton or Villa or Stoke where you're not under the spotlight much but at Utd every word is scrutinized.
LVG will thrive in this environment. I'm gutted we aren't in the UCL this season because I am excited to see how he matches up in this level. His philosophy will reap the best out of our flair players more than under Moyes and even Fergie in his last years because instead of having to do a team role to succeed in a weakish team LVG gives more responsibility to attack and play your game. Plus our weakish areas are being strengthened.
While I do the Moyes So Far thread because of the back and forth assumptions and conclusions, I'm eagerly awaiting LVG's resurgence of United.

I was looking at that video....And apart from "Anderson arriving" one part stuck out more than most.
When the players were stretching and he was looking on with the rest of his staff, there is an air of authority, knowledge, and that demands respect. It makes Giggs look like a cone collector. And I don't mean that in any bad or offensive way towards Giggs at all.
Just, such was our dire circumstances last season, Giggs looked like a saviour and "the answer" for awhile. Now he does not.

Lawrence,James,Amos,Johnstone, Vermijl,Blackett,Janko,Keane x2, Petrucci, A.Pereira and Lingard I think can spot there from the non First team squad. Anyone else ?
OllyOh dear god,
Olly, never leave us.Brought a real smile to my face that one Olly, just need to wax out the background for something equally hilarious. 
Feckin' awesome!
Watching this makes such a start contrast to Moyes and his "hold the apron, piggy in the middle" drills
Old Trafford should change their entrance song to - "You've got NO CHANCE! NO CHANCE IN HELLL!!"
Does anyone know of a fully-functioning river that may or may not be a place to watch van Gaal's press conference tomorrow?
Notice Nicky Butt stood as far away from LVG as possible
United's football issues have nothing to do with his previous footballing history. He's here to do a job. A substantially paid one at that.
