    LOUIS van Gaal has vowed to end the cup drought that has seen many fans desert Manchester United.

    The club was once a frequent renter of open top buses, but supporters now have to ask their parents what it was like back in April 2013 when it last secured a title.

    Fan Wayne Hayes said: “You watch old footage from two or three years ago and wonder whether things will ever be that good again.

    “I’ve never experienced what it’s like to win something since I started supporting them in December.

    “I know things were very different in his day but if Alex Ferguson could see what we’ve become now he’d turn in his grave.”

    Van Gaal has acknowledged the size of his task to rebuild a squad that contains just 25 of the players that helped win the league back in April 2013.

    He said: “People think I’m crazy but I think we can win the league next season, if Rafael, Jones, Evans, Smalling, Carrick, Nani, Young, Cleverley, Evra, Fletcher, Valencia, Wellbeck, Vidic, Ferdinand and Buttner can be replaced.”

    You have until the end of the Transfer wind to choose your club for next season. Matth's already gone with Chelsea, before any transfer activity <doh>


    Personally I'm keeping my cards close to my chest.

    Arsene wouldn't agree. Liverpool won the 2nd place trophy, Chelsea the third place trophy and Arsenal the usual 4th place trophy as well as the fa cup ;)
