10 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Louis Van Gaal

7. But He Has Title-Winning Pedigree

Van Gaal has shown he can be unhinged, unkind and uncaring about who he drops, and as unpleasant as some of these traits are... They do sort of pay off. The Dutchman has enjoyed a stellar managerial career so far, winning 19 major trophies, including the Bundesliga, above. This is a far cry from David Moyes, who took the United job last summer having won nothing during his time at Preston North End and Everton. Many said the United job proved too big for the Scot, given his lack of pedigree at the highest levels of the game, but that certainly is not true of van Gaal, who has proven himself a serial winner down the years with an ego to match. With United in a worrying state of decline, it is important we bring in someone who is capable of dragging the club back to the top, and van Gaal's curriculum vitae certainly suggests he is capable of doing just that.
