Michael Owen has classified Louis van Gaal’s first season at Manchester United

Michael Owen has classified Louis van Gaal’s first season at Manchester United as a disappointing one, as he felt that the club lacked the identity that they have always been known for.

After having been experienced to Sir Alex Ferguson for more than 25 years, United are known to play attractive football while they could also be defensive when the situation needed to be. Under Van Gaal, fans got to see very little attacking football and it was only during the last few matches of the season that things really improved. Owen played at United for a few years under Ferguson.

Michael Owen expects Club to win FA Cup

Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen expects the Red Devils to go through in the FA Cup after a victory against archrivals Arsenal.

The gunners will be the visitors to Old Trafford, but they come into the match as the defending champions of the FA Cup. Unlike in the past few seasons, Arsenal are perfectly placed to beat United. Despite having gone on an impressive run of form in 2015, Louis Van Gaal will be aware that his team is far from perfect. The crucial psychological edge of not having suffered a defeat against Arsenal since 2006 may help United.

Carlos Vela played after 3 Years at International Stage

Carlos Vela turned up for his national side Mexico the other day in the game versus Netherlands and found the back of the net a couple of times for the El Tri to help them win by 3-2.

It was Vela’s first game at the international stage in the last 3 years. The Mexican association had been trying to get him in the thick of things for a long time, but, he was not interested.

The striker had even been selected in the World Cup team of Mexico, but, he withdrew his name. If he had been there in Brazil, who knows where Mexico might have finished?

Van Gaal Shocked By Lack Of PErformance Against Swansea

Louis van Gaal suffered a major setback in his first match as the Manchester United manager after his team were defeated 2-1 by Swansea. The fact that this match was at Old Trafford only made things worse, as United were focusing on rediscovering their strength at home. Under David Moyes last season, the club lost an incredible seven matches at home with many unfancied teams like West Brom and Aston Villa getting results here. United came on the back of an impressive pre-season during which they failed to win only one match.
