Andrei Kanchelskis: Man United won't win the Premier League for 10 years with van Gaal in charge

'Awful' United won't win the league for 10 years with van Gaal in charge, says Andrei Kanchelskis

Former Old Trafford legend Andrei Kanchelskis has launched a blistering attack on Louis Van Gaal, telling him: You’ll never win the Premier League in TEN YEARS, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The dithering Dutchman came under fire after last week‘s 1-0 defeat to Southampton – which ex-Double winner Kanchelskis watched with Sir Alex Ferguson.

And he also revealed the former Old Trafford boss was gutted at what he saw from the Red Devils' current side.

In an interview with a Russian paper, Kanchelskis said: “With Louis van Gaal in charge they will not become champions for another ten years."

Echoing the words of MirrorFootball columnist Robbie Savage, he added: “I don’t understand the type of football he is instilling into his players. I don’t fancy their chances with him in charge - they aren’t going to compete with Chelsea and Manchester City.

“They looked awful. Seventy-five thousand people came to the stadium to watch but they were an embarrassment. I felt sorry for the fans.

“He may be able to solve some of the problems by changing his personnel but on the whole I don’t fancy my old team’s prospects with him in charge.’’

Kanchelskis, who enjoyed league and FA Cup joy at United in 1994 under Fergie, sat chatting with the Scot for 40 minutes before and after the game and revealed: “Afterwards he was very upset.

“United’s players from 1993 - the likes of Paul Ince, Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Ryan Giggs - would be tearing their hair out.”
