Are you serious? lol
Utd needed someone who lived and breathed the philosophy of the club. Moyes was that person and Fergie always liked him. Van Gaal would have failed at Utd.
The jury is still out on Moyes. The fans and board will give him time to turn it around.
I'm talking about someone to rebuild the team, and LvG is the perfect one to do so. Specially with the lack of good players in their first team.
What's the philosophy of the club? Play more strikers than midfielders?
LvG would get rid of dead weight and promote a lot of the youth talent, and sign a couple of good players. Implant the possession game style, etc. Surely it wouldn't last more than 2 season with him in charge, but he would rebuild the team in that time.
