Every Premier league season carries lots of surprises, twists, and turns and this year too we already have had three toppers of the table. While Manchester City has enjoyed the biggest share of residing on the top, Arsenal, and Manchester United are the other two trying to catch the big train. ManU form specifically is in the news off late for Van Gaal and his optimistic statements during preseason games when Red Devils were ruling the field. But now, in last few games, their sharpness seems to have been slow down that is why they are not able to restrict opponents even at their home. Looking at the rate Old Trafford side is losing its space among the toppers, Van Gaal future is also in suspense since bosses at the helm are already finding an alternate in case their side fails to secure a Champions league qualification next season. However, there are many who still believe Dutchman can bring back the glorious days for the United fans if he is given enough time to settle down in the changed environment. Red Devils Saturday’s 2-0 win over West Brom was the one that saw how fans were asking Van Gaal to be attacking in his approach.
Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is the one who counts over the Dutchman for his hidden skills to lead a demotivated side. Comparing his current spell with that of his former ones, 31-year-old German said, “I recognise similarities between Louis van Gaal here and at Bayern Munich. In Munich if you remember it took a while before the team understood exactly how we wants to play football, but in the end we won the Bundesliga title and made it to the Champions League final. It is not about October or November, it is about May.
“I remember the fans were unsure about him early on at Bayern but in the end we did the double and so the fans in Munich loved him. I am sure Louis will bring success to United. I am convinced about that but we have to do our work and we have to improve. I am convinced it will happen.”
Asking for more patience, he added to fans, “You have to be patient but, of course, during that you have to win, you have to get results and you have to score. You recognise what the supporters are saying but football is not only attack.
“There are teams with different game styles and they also win titles but I think especially in home matches we have to press and go forward. When you are playing a team who defend with 10 men it is not easy to find the gaps.”
