What can I say? Can any Man Utd fan say they’re not excited with the upcoming season? There is just so much to look forward to.
What a thrashing of LA Galaxy. They're by no means a weak team considering that they are one of the biggest names in the US MSL. What a fantastic game.
Primarily, the main draw is the fact that David Moyes is gone and Louis van Gaal is the new man at the managerial helm. He brings so much more to the table and it has been so obvious from the day his signing was confirmed. From tactical decisions, motivating the team, having an aura of superiority, promoting youth, he simply ticks every single one of the those boxes that Man Utd fans have all come to expect after years of being spoiled silly by Sir Alex Ferguson.
Aside from that, there are the new additions in Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. Herrera already has a stand out game under his belt in the game against LA Galaxy where he was named MOTM. These are really good additions and it will help the squad so much.
Then you have the existing squad which underperformed so poorly last season. From this first preseason game, we can all see that the players are playing more to their levels of 2012/13, and are far more spritely than last season. Possibly trying to impress the new manager, it is a testament to what we the fans always knew. That the 2013 champions didn't just become lousy overnight.
Lastly you have the new blood. One think that endears me as a fan of this great football club is the constant promotion of youth. I will simply promote youth over shelling out silly money for superstars almost any time. And in LvG, he’s shown himself to be a very astute promoter of youth by bringing 6 youth players on this USA tour. And in Recce James, we have apparently found a diamond in the rough. Watch out Luke Shaw!
Can’t wait for the next preseason game.
GGMU!!!
