2) Louis van Gaal’s James Wilson Decision Proves He’s The Right Man For United Job
Van Gaal has a squad full of very expensive players, and the United manager is under a lot of pressure to get the big names he demanded in the summer to perform.
It was refreshing, therefore to see Man United’s manager make the tough call of leaving Radamel Falcao out of the side for youngster James Wilson. While the Englishman didn’t score, he played well alongside Robin van Persie up front, and fully vindicated his inclusion in the side.
It will be encouraging for Man United fans, not only to see their own youth being given a chance, but also to know that van Gaal won’t let big names or transfer fees affect his thinking.
