LOUIS VAN GAAL stated when he arrived at Old Trafford in July that he should be judged three months into his tenure with the Premier League side.
Van Gaal conceded last month that he was “stupid” to come out with the aforementioned remark as he got to grips with the size of the task he has undertaken.
And with United sitting in mid-table in the top flight ahead of Saturday’s clash with Crystal Palace, the former Netherlands coach has stressed the need for patience in what he views as a long-term project.
“We are in a process and that process shall take more than one year,” he said.
“It shall take three years.
“I cannot say when the results are coming. When I did it with Bayern Munich it was December 8. It can be February 1. But it doesn’t matter. This is a process of three years. I have signed for three years.
“It takes a lot of time. But at the end, when they know it and they are doing the things with conscience, the results shall come.
“Our goal [this season] is to get back in the Champions League.”
If he’s the manager he claims to be it shouldnt take 3 years. He’s already spent €150m and they’ve got very deep pockets. Shud be targeting a title next year
He has been given far greater resources than David Moyes was, but they only appear to have regressed further.
He right in what’s he’s saying , it will take 3 years to be considered the best team in the league again, that’s not to say he won’t get things right in the meantime but Chelsea will hold that mantle until their present teams cycle is up
Hes talking manure now……..hes becoming boring
