I rather liked Kanchelski's use of the word 'disgusting' to describe them recently - A wonderfully underused adjective to describe a football team. Particularly apt in UTD's case.
LVG's Man Utd

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, but I don't remember Ginsoak's teams being the consistently wonderful entertainers of this hastily-constructed myth. Okay, they had the odd season, quite a few years ago, when they dazzled in a few games, but they stank the stadia out in Ginsoak's last couple of title-winning sides. It's all a bit laughable this weeping and gnashing of teeth now by the fans.
Yes, they attacked, but this team attacks. It's not a helpful term for comparative purposes. As I tried to say earlier, the teams under Ginsoak that featured remorseless attacking play from start to finish were nowhere near as common as is now being implied. They had more wide play, sure, and a bit more pace, but they also played tight, they could be attritional, and they were notorious for nicking games late on after really mediocre performances. So there's not SO great a difference. Memories are playing tricks on their fans here.
Agent van gaal's performance is exemplary and we should get fully behind him. He's following on excellently from agent moyes who was awarded the highest medal we could award him. Plan b if agent van gaal gets rumbled is agent giggs, we've already got him inside the site ready incase we need him.
I think they want an old style 4-4-2 with 2 strikers and 2 wingers flying forward with chalk on their boots, etc.
Van Gaal is not daft enough to try that out before fixing the defence first and it's never been his style of footy anyway. Hopefully the fans will rebel to the point where Ryan Giggety Giggs takes over and tries it.

Rafa mostly did that against teams that were better than us at the time.
When it came to teams like Real Madrid and Manchester United, he just went out and smashed them.
I wrote this almost word for word a couple of days ago!
What? He played it cagey against better sides, but let his hair down and went hog-wild against the likes of Real and Man Utd?
He finished ahead of us last season and is ahead of us this season.
What exactly were Agent Van Gaal's orders?
Well understood.
Wouldn't have Man U there but Rafa did tend to play a high tempo game against teams who weren't used to it.
Juve, Real, Barca etc.
I do like Van Gaal's habit of referring to Chris Smalling as 'Mike'. He's done it now in about five pressers in a row. He did it last summer with Smalling sitting right there by his side, and even after that he STILL does it, and did it again last night. It just amuses me to think of poor Smalling sitting listening, thinking, 'FFS: IT'S CHRIS!!!!! CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!'
You've just been whooshed.
No I haven't. I was rather bemused about Real and Utd not being one of the "better sides" that Benitez thought he had to play cagey against.
He was joking.
I'm beginning to think he might be doing it on purpose. He seems to be weird enough to find it funny.
Mind you, he also seems to be mad enough for it to be a genuine problem with remembering his name correctly. Or drunk enough. He always seems to be sozzled when I see him interviewed. Must be a pre-requisite for managing United.
Oh dear...
Luis Suarez or Sergio Aguero would score for us - Van Gaal
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes his side would have scored more goals this season if they had a striker like Sergio Aguero or Luis Suarez.
The Dutchman saw his side draw 0-0 with West Ham, a fifth such scoreline in their past nine games.
"The question is would Luis Suarez or Sergio Aguero score if they were here?" Van Gaal told BBC Radio Manchester.
"That is a question mark. You never know. I think they would, though."
Van Gaal, 64, added: "We've created enough chances to score, so that was not the problem."
"The most important thing is you dominate, create and you finish. Football is about scoring goals. The first two basic aspects of football we have done," Van Gaal added.
"When you don't finish from a metre in front of an empty goal, you cannot say anything more. You have to finish and that's the only problem we have. We played very well especially in the second half - but you have to finish.
"The goals are coming. That is my strong belief."
------------------------------
He basically just said, "our strikers are useless".
All this while Chicharito is on a great scoring run in the Bundesliga.

That's even worse
I was thinking this the other day, kills me inside a little...
And seeing how good we are away from home, wishing we still had to play them at Old Trafford. Cunts.
