Louis van Gaal has the pedigree to replace David Moyes at Manchester United... and the backing of Robin van Persie

One thing Louis van Gaal would be able to guarantee, should he indeed now become Manchester United’s next manager, is a good relationship with the finest footballer at Old Trafford.
David Moyes would insist that he too has enjoyed a healthy rapport with Robin van Persie. He could even point to that recent interview Van Persie gave in which he declared his support for Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor.
But the rumours have persisted, the fact of the matter being that Van Persie felt let down by Ferguson for retiring only a year after convincing him to move from Arsenal to Old Trafford. Moyes just wasn’t Fergie and so the problems apparently began.

Whatever the truth about that particular situation, the relationship between Van Gaal and Van Persie seems to be built on more solid foundations.

 It has developed from Van Gaal’s decision to appoint the United striker as captain of the Dutch national team and has grown into something fairly rare in the sphere of modern football.
