Manchester United could be among the highest spenders this English season, yet newly appointed manager Louis van Gaal seems to be hungrier than ever as he recently said to have been ready to parallel other English sides when it comes to spend heavily over aspiring players. Everyone knows that United is the among the few teams found guilty of violating FFPs continuously over the last three years and if Gaal is making another ambition to spend severely, experts are skeptical if UEFA’s financial control measures have any practical impact or not. Anyways, Dutch mentor is planning to copy his former Manchester great Sir Alex Ferguson to hire his aspiring players this summer and he said this ahead of transfer window which is round the corner now. He also shown his confidence that ManU can win next league title after their improved show in the current season where they made an impressive jump from seventh to among top four on the board. If we look how much this former Real Madrid manager spent in the last summer, it was around £152 million that he threw away to hire six players of his choice. Initially, it was criticized but later when United performed remarkably; no body raised a finger over his money spending.
Talking about his future plans and how his relations are with the teammates, 63-year-old said in a news conference, “I believe in managers and teams who believe in each other and who are making a team out of it. That is what we call a process and when it’s good and every year you improve your selection.
“So I also want to improve my selection for the next season. Then we can make a bigger step than only the process. It helps you in the process to be number one at the end.”
Adding about Manchester City and Chelsea whose current manager Mourinho used to be his assistant at Barcelona, Gaal said, “Manchester City has done that also.We are trying to do that now. Sir Alex Ferguson has done it before. Jose Mourinho is doing it now — but then last season he doesn’t win anything, Mr. Mourinho. Now he is winning the title. Now I try to do that also.
“The last goal he makes it as a midfielder. I have to use Wayne Rooney for the team and every individual player I have to use him when it makes the team stronger. At this moment I think it’s more in a striker’s position but in the second half against Aston Villa I was already after a quarter very convinced I have to change our lineup so it’s dependable on a lot of factors.”
