According to former footballer Ronald De Boer, United will be taken back to the brink of Premier League glory under the new management of Dutch coach Louis van Gaal.
De Boer worked very close to the recently appointed United boss at club level with both Ajax and Barcelona and at national level with the Netherlands.
Van Gaal’s time in charge of United will start after the World Cup, where he currently works on taking the Dutch national side to World glory.
De Boer is in no doubt that van Gaal will immediately begin to have an affect on the deflated United squad that drastically under-performed last season.
He told MUTV: “I think you are getting one of the best managers in the world so the chance of success is high.
“I believe that, especially when you have patience, he will get success because he’s so determined to do well but also he has a great vision.
“On his tactics, he will know the weak points of the opponents and what the team needs so he can really make a very strong team and a team that believes in each other.
“Sometimes it takes time to get that belief from the players. Some will not accept that and will drop off but, when you have everybody together, believe me, you will have great success.
“I’ve seen so many coaches and he stands out so far ahead.”
