Former Manchester United Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken for the first time about Louis van Gaal’s tenure as Manchester United boss and says he has been ‘brilliant’.

Van Gaal who took charged of Old Trafford, after Ferguson’s handpicked successor, David Moyes, who had a hard time managing Red Devils last season.

Although Van, Dutchman has lost twice already in the League and has been dumped out of the Capital One Cup, Ferguson feels he has enough experience and talent to turn the team’s fortunes around.

“Louis van Gaal has made a lot of changes and thinking about that, actually, maybe he’s doing the right thing — to clear the decks and build his own team. Because he’s got the experience and coaching ability to do that.

“The way he’s approached it, I think he has been brilliant.”
