– Ferguson backs Louis Van Gall

– Manchester united is still in crisis

Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary coach of Manchester United, is sure that Louis van Gaal will bring success back to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have not won a major trophy since the EPL title triumph in Ferguson’s final 2012-13 season, but  Ferguson  says a crippling injury list has blighted his old club’s chances of performing to expectations this term: “It is dead easy to be critical. You have to be realistic about some things – the number of injuries he has had: Phil Jones has played only seven games this season, Ashley Young, [Antonio] Valencia, [Luke] Shaw, these are big losses.”

It doesn’t matter which team you are, if you have players missing of that calibre it has to have an impact on the team,” Ferguson stressed.

Speaking about the support of the fans, the legendary coach noted: “The other aspect which is always easy to forget there are also five new players in their first season at United, and two are young players in [Anthony] Martial and Memphis [Depay] and their promise is good. You have to have some patience being a Manchester United fan and they have shown that over the years; in Matt Busby’s time, in my time.”

He also added: “For 150 years of history it is worth having a couple of years on the quiet side of success because they will always come back and come back strong.”

Furthermore, Ferguson is delighted with the faith Van Gaal has shown in United’s academy prospects this season: “He’s given nine young players their debut – I think the future is good. Rashford is an example of what I think is Manchester United. They are the one club in England who will always identify a Rashford and give a young kid a chance – there is no better club in England at giving young kids a chance.”
