Manchester United started the season in disappointing fashion but it was always going to take some time for Van Gaal to work his magic.
Now the Red Devils are in super form and are swiftly moving upwards in the premier league table.
With no European distraction, United are favorites to finish in the top four.
Adding to that, they are getting stronger and stronger with time under Van Gaal. Midfield was considered to be a major problem last season.
However, the return of players like Carrick and Fellaini has helped United turn things around.
Adding to that, Manchester United midfield is set to get another major boost before new year as summer signing Daley Blind is going to return early from his injury.
According to reports, the World Cup’s best left back is expected to be back against Newcastle United on Boxing day giving the manager a positive selection headache with all key midfielders fit.
His father claimed:
“On Tuesday he had a scan. Everything looked fine on the scan. Daley can really begin rehabilitation now but is still on schedule,”
Van Gaal has been really unlucky with injuries to key players but against all odds United have done well.
Blind will have to step up big time to earn the starting place back as for now Carrick and Fellaini are in brilliant form.
