From watching boring, sideways and backward possession football under Louis van Gaal to watching lethargic and dire football under Jose Mourinho, Manchester United fans must have had enough of the decline in football quality in recent years. Appointing Laurent Blanc could actually change Manchester United's style of football as he is known for playing offensive style possession-based football.

Paris Saint Germain under Laurent Blanc has played some of the best attacking football in France, if not in Europe, and the Frenchman's record speaks for itself. PSG scored 84 goals in the 2013-14 Ligue 1 campaign, scored 83 goals in the 2014-15 Ligue 1 campaign and scored 102 goals in the 2015-16 Ligue 1 campaign.

The players like Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford are arguably some of the most talented attacking players in the world. They all might be going through a bad phase at the moment, but under the right manager, under the right attacking system and under the right guidelines, there is no doubt that these players would be at their sparkling best, and Laurent Blanc could genuinely get the best out of the lot.
