Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United will bounce back from a disappointing start to the new season.
The Red Devils managed only three points from the first three games of the English Premier League and crashed out of of the League Cup after a humiliating 4-0 defeat away at MK Dons.
But Mourinho insists van Gaal is the man to bring the project forward.
"He is one of the best managers in the world so I think he is a man with great experience for the job," Mourinho told Yahoo.
Manchester United is a big team [and] he is a big manager so I think they will do well together."
