Time for Van Gaal to roll the dice or roll over at Man Utd

Ryan Giggs, multiple trophy winner at the club will do what Van Gaal won’t. Let’s roll the dice and play a little monopoly. What box will United land on at the end of the season if they carry on playing the way they currently are?

Probably Fleet Street, because the nation’s tabloid and broadsheet media are primed to make Van Gaal a scapegoat and there will be no letup.

We saw when Moyes was dismissed what Giggs was capable of. He wasn’t afraid to give youngsters a chance (and not as a last resort), he encouraged attacking football and more than anything went back to basics.

Under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, the ruthless winning paradigm was ingrained in him and he must be thinking already that he can do a better job than his superior. Patience prohibits progression, paradoxically potentially in this case.

The Welshman has been biding his time over the last season and a bit, biting his tongue most probably on numerous occasions this campaign. Should Van Gaal go, Giggs needs to step up and shoulder the responsibility he has so blatantly been groomed for.

Although “Take Me Home, Country Roads” rings around Old Trafford still on matchdays, at the minute, United lack the direction to steer themselves to their desired destination.
