Manchester United Fans Must Give Louis van Gaal Time

Having finished seventh on the table in the just concluded season, Manchester United fans will no doubt want to return to winning ways once again. Manchester United fans are already used to winning trophies, but they must give new manager van Gaal time to rebuild the team.

As a Manchester United fan, one of the most painful experiences I went through last season was watching teams like City and Liverpool beat us at Old Trafford. Those defeats home and away were low moments in my many years of supporting the team, and that was why I celebrated the sacking of David Moyes. To me, it is not time to drop ones' season ticket, I am prepared to renew my own season ticket and I advise all United fans that will keep the faith toBuy tickets to see Manchester United here. Our money can only help the club more.

Now that a new manager has been appointed in the person of current Dutch national team boss Louis van Gaal, it is important that he be given time to rebuild the team. Personally, I think the manager should be given healthy transfer funds to buy key players. As we saw in the case of Tottenham Hotspurs last season, new signings take time to blend. AVB was given the boot midway into the season because his team was doing poorly, but his sacking the change much or did it?

While a lot of fans would argue that Manchester United are different from Tottenham and are used to winning trophies, it is vital to state how important it is to give the new manager time to succeed. Louis van Gaal has one of the best CVs in club football, and should not be pressured. His football philosophy is without doubt one that will benefit the team. He is disciplined, frank, and hardworking, and will need time to instill his footballing philosophy into the team. 

His impressive achievements over the years include winning the Champions League trophy in 1995 after guiding a young team like Ajax to beat AC Milan, winning the Dutch league title with AZ Alkmaar, winning two La Liga titles with Barcelona, and taking Bayern Munich to both the German title and the Champions League Final in 2010.

For van Gaal, it is not a question of experience and pedigree, but rather it is about giving him all the time and support he needs to return the team to where we belong.
