No matter how impressive you have in any domestic season, whenever a transfer window comes, it is obvious that you would have to release and hire players according to your plans and Manchester United, despite having a good season, is not an exception. Manager Louis van Gaal is himself not sure if he can convince every teammate to be with him and even this is not possible for anyone leading a club like ManU. Dutchman himself called upcoming transfer window as the rough one for few players who could move out of Old Trafford this summer and this list includes Robin van Persie and Jonny Evans who have long been linked with such a move. Taking it as a natural call of contemporary football, Gaal does not even want to weigh these rumors hence is only focusing over his first Championship league next year. Notably, his performance has been impressive by the fact that he not only took Reds Devils on the European turf back but as well brought a never experienced field spread on English soil.
Talking about possible changes in A team post summer, 63-year-old said, “It shall be a rough summer for a lot of players, but I think a top club like Manchester United has to do that. I think our selection is unbalanced. We have managed to be fourth in the league, but we have to manage to be the champions.”
“I don’t think you have to keep the whole selection, because when you purchase other players, you get another stimulus in the group also, and that you need. That is why we have to take care of the balance of the selection, but also to improve our selection, because we want to be champions.”
“I can promise I can do my utmost best, that we shall fight to the end and more we cannot do. And that we make the right decisions when you purchase players and when players are leaving the club. It is a natural process and that the fans are not forgetting that.”
Replying if it was his charisma that motivated players to deliver hundred percent or it was something else, former Real Madrid boss added, “I have to say first of all I am impressed by the attitude and motivation of the players because I have always seen a fighting spirit. Maybe in the game against Everton it was a little bit less, but normally we were always fighting to the end.
“Also in training sessions they were there always. So I have to give a lot of credit to the players because it was not an easy season.”
