Rory’s not convinced

Louis van Gaal might have gotten Manchester United back into the Champions League but the jury is still out on the Dutchman’s spell in the Old Trafford dugout.

And one of United’s most famous fans, golf superstar Rory McIlroy, has lent his voice to the doubters after United’s unimpressive start to Van Gaal’s second season in charge.

Speaking to Sky Sports, McIlroy, who finished tied for 29th behind winner Rickie Fowler after a final round of 66 at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston last night, said he hoped this summer’s signings would come good.

‘The new signings, I think, will be good in time, but I’m not convinced LVG is the right man to lead us,” McIlroy said.
