Louis van Gaal better listens to the advice from this Manchester United legend

The world witnessed one of the most heartbreaking events in football, last day. The Blues faced a shock after Chelsea declared that Jose Mourinho has stepped down from his managerial position. The man who led Chelsea to the glorious phase was kicked off his position for one bad season. The foolish decision from the board and management outraged the fans. It wasn’t a bad decision just for the London club but for the whole of English football. Jose’s exit will be a big loss for Premier League if he doesn’t come back as the gaffer of any other club in the league.

After Jose, the axe falls down to LvG as the Dutchman is highly likely to face the sack. His failed philosophy and process haven’t fruited results. The players aren’t happy under his reign and haven’t been up to the mark, either. Parker, who won four major trophies at Old Trafford including two Premier League titles in the 1990s, said that Van Gaal should step aside gracefully instead of being forced out. “Maybe he can be humble and say to himself, ‘it’s not working’, and leave at the end of the season,” Parker told ESPN FC. “Hopefully he can try to change things slightly before then and change himself as a person.’’

Parker says that Sir Alex was willing to adapt while Van Gaal is proving to be too stubborn.

“Sir Alex Ferguson changed because he suddenly realised that the game was changing. He still implemented his own stuff but he knew that the new bit was coming in so he adapted.

“Van Gaal seems like he doesn’t want to adapt to the modern game. He has got to throw away his book that he carries on his lap all the time and let United out of their shackles.”

“Everybody from all levels of media are hitting him and it’s bubbling, a bit like Mourinho,” he said.

“But given how the game has changed, the players have got a massive say in it. If they’re not happy downstairs, they’ve got to make changes. And there’s only one change they can make and that’s got to be at the helm.

“Yes, Sir Alex was under pressure too [in 1991] but that pressure was coming from outside, not from within. He was very popular within and Bobby Charlton was his biggest fan.”

Parker believes Memphis could change things around for United if LvG allow him to express his emotions. “Yes, Memphis has got an arrogance and he’s a bit flamboyant,” Parker said.

“The problem is that Van Gaal has got to him and said ‘you can’t do that’. He’s taken it all away from him. He’s telling him how he can and can’t dress.

“But if it makes him a better player and he’s comfortable doing it, it’s okay. Van Gaal has to start working with individuals rather than collectively because everybody’s different in today’s world.”
