Manchester United’s new manager Louis Van Gaal has expressed his joy at how the 3-5-2 system worked in this mornings 7-0 win over LA Galaxy in Pasadena.

The former Netherlands manager says his players have adapted well despite only having a short time to get used to it.

Darren Fletcher captained the team on the night while Robbie Keane featured for Galaxy who endured a night to forget in front of 86,000 people.

Here’s what Van Gaal had to say about the win and his teams performance

“It is fantastic how they have performed today.”

“When you see us train, you can expect something but not 7-0. It was a surprise, but they were beautiful goals and beautiful attacks.

“The result always matters. With such a result you get confidence. We introduced a new system and played twice on the training pitch, 11 v 11. It is not very much, but the boys are willing to pick up the information. Last week, 10 players who played tonight were not even at our training complex.

“When I see my team playing a new system, it is better to win 7-0 than to lose because the players will then doubt the system. But now I don’t have that problem.”
