#3 Manchester United vs Southampton – 45 passes

Although Van Gaal was widely criticized for his footballing philosophy with Manchester United, the 45-pass build-up play that led to a goal against Southampton is an example of the quality players installed by him in the team. A visionary through ball by Schweinsteiger found Memphis Depay whose shot struck the post, but the rebound was netted calmly into the goal by Juan Mata.
