4) Attacking style of play
After Sir Alex’s retirement, there has been much hue and cry about United’s style of play under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal. And it’s hard to blame the two too much as, during its peak, United’s attacking displays were second to none.
With Fergie at the helm, United’s attacks were characterised by swift forward passing, efficient wing play and moments of individual brilliance along with an innate ability to generate a blistering counter-attack out of nowhere.
If such is the standard that is expected of United in every game, it is easy to understand why Louis van Gaal has one of the toughest jobs in world football.
