Van Gaal insists Man Utd building for success

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists they're building something special.

While some United fans are struggling to accept Van Gaal's possession-based philosophy after decades of watching Sir Alex Ferguson's teams go on the all-out offensive, the Dutchman insists the pain will be worth it.

He said: "When you see my career, you can see that a lot of youngsters came through to be the guardians of the culture of the club once I had left. That is important.

"When I was left Barcelona, Xavi became the captain, then Iniesta was captain. There was also Valdes and for 10 years they were the backbone of the club and the culture.

"In Munich now there is Muller, Alaba, Badstuber. It is the same as Barcelona.

"Schweinsteiger was another player, but now he has come here, it is the other three who are the guardians of the culture.

"Maybe when I am gone from United, Shaw will be the guardian of the culture, or Januzaj, or Martial."
