Thierry Henry advises United to sack Van Gaal, hire Mourinho

Thierry Henry has said that Manchester United should dismiss Louis van Gaal, as he is not delivering at the club.

The Dutchman has come under serious pressure over the past weeks, with fans and pundits highly critical of his style of football at Old Trafford.

United have not scored a first-goal at home in 11 matches and are currently not in the top four.

Former Arsenal striker Henry, feels the club needs to make the change quickly.

“I know a lot of United fans and all they talk about is how poorly their team are playing,” Henry wrote in his Sun on Sunday column.

“It’s not about results any more. Even when they win, the issue is still how awful the football is. They don’t enjoy watching their team any more. They are bored.

“No one can question Van Gaal’s pedigree as a coach. But he has failed to get his message across at United and the players don’t know what is expected of them. He doesn’t appear to know his best team or even his best formation.”

The ex France international also suggested that Jose Mourinho could be the answer. The Portuguese coach is still without a job, after he was sacked by Chelsea last month.

“The club are crying out for success and Mourinho guarantees that, in spite of everything that happened at Chelsea this season,” Henry continued.

“He is still an amazing coach and United have got to do something because it is simply not working [for Van Gaal].”
