With that kind of investment, you’d expect to see some kind of improvement in the side, after all; the aim of this gigantic investment was to ensure a top four finish and Champions League qualification for the Red Devils at the end of this season.
Van Gaal has enjoyed almost a free ride despite such a massive use of United’s credit cards but has his dealings actually improved the side?
CaughtOffside compare key stats from van Gaal’s current reign and Moyes’ at a similar period to determine whether the new Dutch boss actually has changed anything at the club.
Points Total:
Van Gaal: 21 games – 37 points
Moyes: 21 games – 37 points
Yes, both managers have the same points total at the same stage of the season and the total itself isn’t that impressive with Sir Alex Ferguson achieving 52 points during his last season as boss.
In fact the only thing that separates the two manages in this case is their goal difference with van Gaal enjoying a +13 rating whilst Moyes had +11.
