If Klopp is available(MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE CAN'T REFUSE) and give him 6 years, even more! Someone with experience to bring the stability and amazing football style with Youth development.
Things are pointing at Van Gaal. I think 3 years(extension depending on performance) contract would be enough seeing that he is already 62 and he will bring that stability and lay the foundation. Obvious plus point is his total football style and his experience. Good mentor for Giggs and Scholes. He is a slow starter and he will impose his footballing style.
He said he normally keeps an assistant from previous management which is good and I think it should be Giggsy and Scholesy. Any Big Club will try anything to retain their legends specially likes of Scholes and Giggs.

As far I am concern, having Giggs and Scholes as assistant is as important as having a new manager.

Another thing that annoys me is people saying we should sign atleast 4 or 5 players. I for one only want 3 signing of 2 Solid CM and LB.

Manchester United first team would be without a single youth product from our academy. That would be really annoying. We need at the least Evans and Januzaj in our first team. Ideally 3 players in our first team should be from our youth product. Our core problem has been our CM since Keane and Scholes have left. A strong CM partnership creates and overall better team. Look at Arsenal, they downfall was because of their weakened CMs. Look at Liverpool, that annoying Gerrard has been their strength in attack and defence. Yaya and Fernandinho is stability and strength of City.
My ideal CM partnership would be Vidal and Fabregas, or Carvallo and Kroos.

Only thing is world cup finishes on 13th and our first pre season game is on 23rd. So does Van Gaal have enough time to get the transfers in more importantly off load the dead woods.

If we only get 3 new players and get rid of the deadwood we're going to have a small squad.

We have many players who deserve chance in likes of M Keane, Powell, Henriquez, Lindgard, Vermijl and Zaha. And I am sure some of people here will add even more youth likes of Wilson.

Red Samurai, your on a different planet if you think signing 2 CM and a LB will be enough to challenge for league and Europe. Our defence has been sjambok if this season. With Vidic and Rio gone we most defiantly need a CB, and a top class one at that to play along side Evans/Jones/Smalling, all 3 of whom are dodgy to say the least.

As for players from our youth system, if they aren't good enough they aren't good enough simple as that. You also realise Adnan has only been here 2 years, we signed him in 2011 from Anderlecht, he's hardly a product of our academy. Cleverly and welbeck are and look where that's got us,

As for zaha he isn't and will never been united standard! Stop living in the past as most do! We produced the class of 92, it was a one off and we won't see that number of players going on to success the same again. Never
