Gary Neville Urges Man Utd fans to get over Sir Alex and move on,

Gary Neville has told Manchester United fans to move on from Sir Alex Ferguson, UK’s Star reports. The Scot was a domination figure at Old Trafford for 26 years and brought trophy after trophy to Old
Trafford. But since his retirement neither his successor David Moyes nor current man Louis van Gaal has been able to bring the style or results as Ferguson did in his heyday. Neville has had enough of fans living in the past and told the club’s supporters to move on and embrace the future of United. In his The Telegraph column, Neville said: “The time has come for Manchester United fans – me included – to let go of the Sir Alex Ferguson reign and stop judging this new era by former glories. “The style of play and the names have changed, but the one person not confused by the team’s development will be Louis van Gaal. “I’ve never been a manager, but I personally believe in attacking football, with a high tempo. “If United were committed to protecting that style of play at all costs they should have appointed a manager with those beliefs. “But there was no way Van Gaal was going to come to Manchester United and adopt somebody else’s philosophy. “It’s a bit like breaking up with a partner of 26 years and wanting the new person to be the same as the old one. “They – we – are going to have to let go. “The idea of referencing Ferguson or saying ‘It’s not the Manchester United way’ at every turn stylistically is not going to take Manchester United anywhere.”
