Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakapono ana a Louis van Gaal kei a ia tonu te tautoko katoa o te whanau Glazer ahakoa te tau tuatahi uaua i te taha o Manchester United. Ko ngā tukinga e rima e whai ake nei ka whai pānga nui ki te wā tuatahi o Van Gaal i te karapu ka whakaarohia hei angitu, hei rahunga rānei. E rua ngā tohu kei roto i te top e whā me te 10 kēmu ki te haere me i muri i te kēmu o Rātapu ki Tottenham, ka tutaki ratou Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester City me Chelsea. Kei te whai a Louis van Gaal i te tūranga tuarua i te Barclays Premier League me te akiaki i te mutunga o te rerenga-i roto. E whakapono ana te kaiwhakahaere o Manchester United ko te hopu i nga hoa whawhai o te rohe o Manchester City he whaainga ka taea te whakatutuki. Ahakoa te toru o nga hinganga i roto i nga whakataetae 23, kua amuamu etahi kaitautoko mo te kore o te tere, te whanui me te whanui mai i te taha o Van Gaal. Engari, ko te mea nui, e whakaaro ana te rangatira o United kei a ia tonu te tautoko o te whānau Glazer, nā rātou te karapu, me te tumuaki tuarua o te karapu, a Ed Woodward. 'E whakapono ana ahau ka taea e au te whakaoti i aku tau e toru,' te kaiwhakahaere United i mea. 'Ki taku whakaaro e pai ana rātou ki taku ara whakahaere i te karapu.' I maumahara a Van Gaal ki te raarangi roa o nga angitu hei tautoko i tana take i te huihuinga korero i te Paraire. I whakamaharatia e te Dutchman te hunga i tae mai ki te wikitoria i te hiriwa i tana wa tuatahi i Ajax, Barcelona me Bayern Munich. Kāore a Ryan Giggs rāua ko Van Gaal i whai i te wā tino nui engari kei roto tonu rātau i te tūponotanga ki te whā o runga. I mahara ano te 63-tau-tau ki te mea i wikitoria ia i te 2008-09 Eredivisie me AZ Alkmaar i te tau i muri i te mutunga o te 11. 'I mea ahau ka (haere) ahau engari ko nga kaitakaro (AZ) i haere mai ki toku whare ki te tono kia noho ahau, me te poari ano hoki,' i kii ia. 'Kātahi ko tātau te toa.' E whakaae ana a Van Gaal ka 'he tino uaua' te wikitoria i tetahi tohu i tana tau tuatahi i Ingarangi. Kua puta atu a United i te FA Cup whai muri i te hinganga o te hauwhā whakamutunga ki a Arsenal, ā, e 10 ngā tohu kei muri i a Chelsea, e whai ana i tētahi tukinga. Ko te mahi anake a Van Gaal ko te whakahoki mai i te kapa Champions League ki Old Trafford. Kāore i whakaarotia e te tangata o Aotearoa he aha te utu o te hapa...
E mea ana a Louis van Gaal e whakapono ana a Manchester United ki tana whakaaro. Kua raru te tangata o Aotearoa i tana tau tuatahi hei rangatira. Engari i tiakina e Van Gaal tana rekoata a ka tohe te karapu ka piri ki a ia.
