Ruud Gullit has launched a damning critique of Louis van Gaal’s transfer strategy at Manchester United, claiming that his compatriot has badly mis-judged the nature of Premier League football by signing mainly attacking players. Former Chelsea manager and European Footballer of the Year Gullit has previously been a supporter of van Gaal, notbaly duirng the World Cup when he backed the manager’s tactics for the Holland national team when van Gaal was under attack from the likes of Johan Cruyff. But Gullit is perplexed by the signings of Van Gaal at Manchester United, with the likes of Angel Di Mario, Radamel Falcao, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo coming in for £170million even though United have neglected to sign central defenders.
