Louis van Gaal hailed his fantastic players as he began his reign as Manchester United manager with a 7-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy. Van Gaal, who sent United out in the 3-5-2 system he used with Holland at the World Cup, rejected an offer to play down the importance of the win, insisting his new squad should take great confidence from dishing out such a hiding. The result always matters. With such a result you get confidence, It is fantastic how they have performed today. When you see us train, you can expect something but not 7-0. It was a surprise, but they were beautiful goals and beautiful attacks. We introduced a new system that we have only played two times on the training pitch 11 v 11, the former Barcelona manager said. But the boys are willing to pick up the information. It is fantastic how they have performed. Last week, 10 players who played tonight were not even in our training complex. When you want to change a system, you must start at once. We dont have time to prepare for other things. The other system they can play is 4-3-3 and they have played it for many years. I can change back if the system doesnt work. With the quality of the players we have, I can play 4-3-3 with three strikers on the bench, but I want to play with two strikers. [Source: standard.co.uk]
