LVG is the right man for Sir Bobby

SIR Bobby Charlton is sure that Louis van Gaal is the perfect man to right the wrongs of last year's woeful season for Manchester United.

United are embarking on a new era with Van Gaal at the helm following David Moyes' disappointing 10-month spell in charge.

Under the Scot, who was selected by Sir Alex Ferguson to succeed him, United endured their worst campaign in Premier League history, finishing seventh.

Van Gaal appears to be slowly putting United back on track. The Dutchman has enjoyed a successful pre-season tour so far, registering wins over Los Angeles Galaxy, Roma and Inter Milan.

And off the pitch the players have responded well to his demands for unity, strength and commitment. "It's marvellous.

I am so pleased with the way it has turned out," Charlton, the club's record goal scorer told MUTV.
