David Moyes got sacked because results simply were not good enough for a team like Manchester United, but a major factor in that decision will also have been because of the way the team were playing. There is a Man Utd way - dominance in attack, scoring goals and winning games deep into injury-time - Moyes failed to get that out of his team, Van Gaal will be expected to adapt it into his. It is vital that the board understand this ideal and communicate it as an expectation to whoever the new manager is. Man Utd are a team that dominate and strangle the opposition - particularly at Old Trafford. Next season one of the goals will be to turn the home form back into one of constant victory and by-all-means success. Furthermore the team need to know that failing to reach Europe is like relegation to a team with the international appeal of Man Utd. The current squad do not appear to possess the guts and ability to deliver this requirement in the way that is expected. If Van Gaal does take over, and does reshape the club, it will be his toughest task and also possibly his greatest triumph.
