The United Road, What is?

This is our last embrace ... This is our last goodbye

If rumours are to be believed Louis van Gaal is set to be the next United manager. He will be the first manager outside the United Kingdom to manage the club, yes the FIRST. This season has been dismal one and where I agree Moyes was not showing progress. Maybe he could have had the first half of next season and the summer for squad building. Lets just agree Moyes was sacked for the good of the club.

I fear that van Gaal will come in and change a lot of things about the way we play, about the way we go on about things, about the 'United Way' - we have always played football a certain way, not just during the Fergie era but before that during the 60s and the 70s after the Munich disaster. "All those lads you see going to the factory in Trafford Park, they come to watch you on Saturday," Busby told Charlton. "They have boring jobs, so you have to give them something they will enjoy."




Today, we saw a lot of things that are resonant with this so called 'United Way' - a star is born in 18 year old James Wilson who scored a brace on his first team debut, a 19 year old Belgian Adnan Januzaj dictated proceedings on a emotional night at Old Trafford and our caretaker manager came down for a stroll assisted Persie and almost scored himself.

"It is my philosophy and it is Manchester United's philosophy" Giggs said in his first presser. What will happen to this philosophy, what will happen to the certain way we play football, what will happened to the 'United Way'

The times are changing and I don't know where are we gonna go from
here. The future is uncertain and it is scaring me.

The United Road no more?
