ah yes, I wonder how much faith those who hate Rooney will put into this story from the Metro

Simeone hasn't changed either. He looks closer to winning big things with them, which is an incredible achievement, but he's done it with a totally different group of players. He's never managed a massive club and he's never really had to handle big players. I've also read that his management style would be very abrasive at a top club. I don't know why but the Spanish journo didn't think he'd be cut out for United.

Nice face though?
 
Rooney has no bargaining power with the club anymore. Can he find himself a similar deal at another big club? No. He has 5 years left on his contract too.
 
Obviously he didn't say that to the club. What's the benefit for him? He knows they won't listen and he'll piss off his new manager on the way in the door.

And if he did, he certainly didnt tell the media. Rooney is just worried hell have to be managed.
 
Bullshit story - but what i dont get is why rooney is still getting such an amount of abuse on here. he is one of the if not the most important player for us and is always giving his all for the club. contract negotiations are always dirty (especially nowadays with the power of agents) - just get over it

Which takes me back to my original bafflement about all these Cavani rumours.

My guess is there was some kind of breakdown between Moyes and van Persie, resulting in RvP declaring his intention to leave Old Trafford in the summer, or Moyes deciding to get rid of him.Therefore Cavani was sought as a replacement.

But the imminent arrival at OT of the manager who made van Persie captain of Holland changes everything. So no more Cavani.

Hopefully.

Maybe.

Who knows?

Oh in that case I hope we really do appoint LVG.

Me too. Rooney needs a slap and Van the man is the one who will give it to him.
News is stagnating, surely the club will go for experience rather than an experiment again won't they?
LVG for 3 years, rebuild and let someone else take over ala Giggs, Pep or Klopp
 
Seems like his appointment is imminent now, really hope things are sorted out in terms of transfer targets. In an ideal world we want to get everyone we want before the start of the world cup.
 
Louis van Gaal could easily have a coaching team of Stam, Giggs, Scholes and Kluivert around him.

Forget right now, if this was the late 1990s that would be one hell of a line-up on the pitch!
 
there was a report this morning that some German journos are blaming guardiola for what might go wrong with the German national team during the next wc finals
 
Of course he's to blame. He used a tactic which was heavily beaten by this same Bayern side and he turned that same Bayern team into using his philosophy. Now he got beaten by Real Madrid, in the same way Barcelona lost to Bayern because of these same weaknesses to his tactics.

He needs to evolve, he can't expect the same thing to keep working year after year with no changes.
 
I'd rather LVG at this stage. I just want the one with the biggest bollocks, and all evidence points to that being LVG by some margin.
 
Guardiola will be going nowhere, it's ridiculous the criticism he's receiving, he's had an extraordinary first season at Bayern. Even if Bayern were to let him go I see him taking another year out.

This makes sense and henceforth I'm working on the assumption it's correct.
 
Might just be to let giggs have his moment in the sun so to speak. All this talk of a tidal wave of support for giggs is rubbish IMO. I'm sure some people would like to see him get a crack at it but it seems most united fans think we need an experienced manager.
 
I won't believe it until there's a YouTube video montage titled 'Welcome to Manchester'

Yep. That and the fact it looks better to wait a while. If we announced LVG a few days after sacking Moyes it looks like we've been planning behind Moyes back (which lets face it, we probably were).

They are hating on him because he seems invincible due to to the extraordinary amount of success he had in a minuscule amount of time. Yes, he was playing the same system through out.

Trophies won:
Barcelona:
2009 Copa del Rey
2009 Spanish League
2009 Champions League
2009 FIFA Club World Cup
2010 Spanish League
2011 Spanish League
2011 Champions League
2011 FIFA Club World Cup
2012 Copa del Rey
2013 Spanish League
2014 Bundesliga

And also, most fans are fickle.
 
I don't want to wait that long for confirmation. I know it's going ahead, but I'm simply impatient.

Louis van Gaal will be confirmed as Manchester United's new manager next week, reports the annoyingly reliable @Ian_Ladyman_DM

The thing that worries me is that if we're waiting until after the Hull game, what if we win both and suddenly Woody gets cold feet and keeps Giggs?

Next season. :drool:

:drool: I would absolute love if it, if we go back to playing football like that. Loved the flick from Sheringham to Scholes.

On another subject, if Van Gaal is appointed, I would happily go into next season with Van Persie, Welbeck and Hernandez as our striker. With Wilson, Keane or Henriquez making a possible breakthrough.

According to Luca Toni, as told through Van Bommel, if it's big bollocks we're on the hunt for, our search may not be over.
Van Bommel’s version
“I have to confirm this story. Van Gaal tried to explain to the team that when he made a substitution, he did so for the sake of the team, not for himself. He asked me to translate his point to the players, but after several attempts he thought I hadn’t done it well enough. So he tried to make the point in his own way. By dropping his pants. The players responded with laughter. Luca Toni wasn’t impressed with the size. Van Gaal just continued his speech, but later this moment was often parodied by us. It certainly didn’t have the effect Van Gaal intended.”

He got his bollocks out once? This is brand new information. 101 pages and nobody mentioned this.
