LOUIS VAN GAAL has launched a stunning broadside on former club Manchester United.
The Dutchman was in the Old Trafford hotseat between 2014 and 2016.
Van Gaal, 73, won a solitary FA Cup during his tenure as United boss.
And he's been watching their horror 2024/25 season from afar with interest.
The Red Devils finished without silverware last term, languishing 15th in the Premier League.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe - who has embarked on controversial cost-cutting across the club - employed Ruben Amorim midway through the season to stop the rot.
But results continued to slide under the former Sporting Lisbon chief.
Van Gaal told Sky Sports: "It is still a commercial club.
"It is not a football club. I have said that before - and that's always difficult."
The 73-year-old believes United will never find success unless Amorim is given the chance to choose his own players.
He continued: "When [it's] not the manager deciding which player has to come, it's very difficult.
"I think that is the way it should be.
"Because then you can fire the manager because he's not getting results.
"When other people buy the players, then you have a problem.
"You need to have the knowledge [of the manager] because he has to train them."
Van Gaal also begged United chiefs to "pay attention" to the way Premier League champions Liverpool are operating under Arne Slot.
He added: "Arne Slot is the man who says to his technical manager, you need to buy this player.
"Pay attention to [that]."
Van Gaal won 54 of his 103 games in charge at Old Trafford.
His overall win percentage with the club stands at 52.43 per cent.
That figure is lower than three United managers who have followed him through the door at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Erik ten Hag all boast higher win percentages.
But current boss Amorim has the lowest of all five.
The Portuguese manager has won just 16 of his 42 games in charge - a paltry win percentage of 38.10 per cent.
That's the worst of any permanent United manager since Frank O'Farrell in 1971.

LVG should have never replaced Mourinho. But he did. Signed half the Netherlands Squad same as ETH and both of them thanked it. Now Amorim is riscking his career trying to make something out of United. I believe Ruben was nieve, but his Dream was to Managed United and You Should Always Fight for your Dreams. I next season is better as Ruben has very little time and space to prove himself.

One hundred percent 💯 I agree with you, LVG. That’s exactly why I keep saying the Manchester United board is the biggest problem at the club. United will never stop losing until there’s a complete shift in mentality at the top. I saw it clearly during your time, and it’s the same pattern with Erik ten Hag, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, David Moyes, José Mourinho, and Ralf Rangnick. You all recommended quality players — but the board refused and went ahead to buy who they wanted instead. Then when things go wrong, they put all the pressure on the managers and players. The reason Manchester United was so successful under Sir Alex Ferguson is because he had full control — buying the players he wanted and letting go of those he didn’t. Until the club returns to that structure, the same mistakes will keep repeating.

Dont b surprise ManU secretly digging tunnel all these years to be free from EPL Prison. All they want is a way out to d championship. Sweet 16 is barely legal. The signs r there ady.

yet when sick,united wished him good health, now that he is strong look at what he is saying, what goes around comes around
But I think he's speaking with a good motive; showing us what we need to correct. When CR7 spoke about the weaknesses in Man United he was chased away. Do you think they're talking lies?
