1. His Controlling Management Style Might Backfire
Here is another reason why Louis Van Gaals appointment is risky. The Dutchman likes to control everything that he can. This includes knowing all he possibly can about his players including the names of their wives and what kind of things they get up to in their spare time. The approach is understandable to some extent, because we know that there is a lot of different things that impact the way a player plays on the pitch. To be honest, it could go either way because some players may trust his methods due to his reputation as a manager. However, its inevitable that his methods wont please every player and there may well be conflicts. Surely something that United dont need as they look to rebuild and improve morale. Feel free to let us know what you think about this article, and if you would think this appointment will be a success of failure.
