The History
Manchester United was under the command of Sir Alex Ferguson for 27 years. People haven’t heard the words “manager sacked” at Manchester United since a very long time. Heard it once when David Moyes was axed, shockingly, even before he completed his first season at the club.
Better late than never, the club seems to have realized the mistake they committed and are looking to make up for it by giving Louis van Gaal so much time. When we compare the statistics of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal at Manchester United, it is almost the same. That surely indicates that Manchester United won’t become that club which sacks their manager within a short span of time if they don’t get instant success.
I understand that fans will say we are giving the right chance to the wrong person, but I don’t think there is any other manager out there who can be an ideal replacement, not even Jose Mourinho. Fans are definitely impatient and frustrated with the lack of victories and trophies. Majority of them even want to see van Gaal walk the plank, but I think he deserves another season and that is what the Board and the Owners have in their mind.
Suggestions coming in saying there are better people to replace the Dutchman – The Special One who almost got the defending champions relegated and the other being van Gaal’s right-hand man Ryan Giggs.
Jose Mourinho, apparently, is in pole position for the job, if United decide to part ways with Louis van Gaal.
There have been positive signs, the performance against the top teams has been good. United are just 1 point away from a Champions League spot in a league being led by Leicester with Tottenham right behind them (Again, just saying how unpredictable the Premier League is), and are still in the FA Cup which I’m pretty sure Louis van Gaal and everyone at Old Trafford is hungry for. Let’s not forget how he believes in the youth and gives an opportunity to the ones who deserve it.
That’s it. The three reasons, which I think, are enough to keep Van Gaal at Manchester United for another season. Give him a good, fit squad and support him and he will bring back the glory days for Manchester United.
