Too early to declare Van Gaal as the anti-Moyes?

Too early to declare Van Gaal as the anti-Moyes?

JOE never puts too much emphasis on pre-season results, especially considering we never really hit our top form on the playing field until the real action starts. You see, we’re the type that do it on the night.

Manchester United fans though, will be delighted to see that the new era under Louis van Gaal has gotten off to the perfect start with a 7-0 demolition of LA Galaxy.

United fans won’t need reminding that Moyes lost his first game in charge of United to a Thailand all-star team. We really should have known, even back then.

When Van Gaal wasn’t distracted by other, erm, things, he would have seen Danny Welbeck opening the scoring before Wayne Rooney, Ashley ‘how is he still a Man Utd player’ Young and Reece James all grabbed a couple of goals apiece as Robbie Keane’s Galaxy fell to pieces in front of almost 90,000 fans at the Rose Bowl. Take a look.

United fans will be delighted to hear that summer signing Ander Herrera put in an impressive shift in the middle, dictating play with some crisp passing and clever touches.

So you’re telling us that Fellaini might not be nailing down a first-team place this season? We’re shocked.
