Although, Van Gaal, the new ManU boss, has never been a shoddy kind of mentor - his record speaks in itself - yet, his style of leading a side is significantly different than former boss Sir Alexander Ferguson who ruled the Manchester giants for more than two decades with a successful record.

Manchester United manager Van Gaal has at least motivated other managers to use their key players on the positions they could be better explored rather on their best fitted spots and this has undoubtedly been his biggest achievement in England career where he empowered club managers to ask star players to play on different positions than where they have until been. Chelsea is the next such side who believe few of its players can better be capitalized if played on unorthodox positions and 24-year-old Belgian forward Eden Hazard is one such player who impressed everyone during Blues Saturday's win at Norwich.
