Revealed: How Louis van Gaal can turn Manchester United around
PATRICK KLUIVERT believes Manchester United already have the right coach in place to turn their form around.
Kluivert and Van Gaal have worked together a number of times over the years
The Dutch striker played under Louis van Gaal both at Ajax and then during both of the manager's spells at Barcelona.
But Kluivert, who was also part of Van Gaal's Netherlands team, is convinced his good friend can still produce results at United.
"I know Louis really well, he’s a coach who knows how to motivate young players in order for them to bring their qualities to the team," Kluivert said.
"United are in fifth place now and the coach is always the first one to get the blame for a bad run.
"However, I think he’s got so much quality and I hope he can turn the situation around."
