Van Gaal has been criticised by media in England and some fans for the way Manchester United have been playing this season, despite the club currently sitting 3rd in the Premier League table and on course for a return to the Champions League.
Speaking to De tafel van Kees, Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed support for his fellow Dutchman, saying he has “holy faith” in the former Netherlands coach.
Van Nistelrooy said, “The people are fantastically positive about him,”
“He is an outstanding figure. Van Gaal leads from his vision and United follows. That is what the club needed.”
“Van Gaal is going to get time. The overall picture is that he helps the team and the club move further. I strongly believe that he is going to build them up.”
