Yohan Cabaye: 'Louis van Gaal is boring compared to Sir Alex Ferguson'

Yohan Cabaye says that Manchester United lack cutting edge and adventure under Louis van Gaal.

Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye has suggested that Manchester United's goalscoring woes are linked to a lack of both a cutting edge and adventure from Louis van Gaal.

The Eagles held Van Gaal's side to a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park on Saturday for what was the Red Devils' third successive game in all competitions without finding the net.

Cabaye can remember Sir Alex Ferguson's United teams, and the Frenchman believes that the current edition are unrecognisable compared to the one he first faced during his Newcastle United days.

"I remember I played against Man United for Newcastle they could score at every moment in a game," he told reporters.

"Here they did not have the big chances to score. Wayne Rooney had a free kick in the first half and that was about it.

"Yes, they are a big club and yes, they can keep the ball – passes, passes, passes – but if you work hard against them and stay in a good shape they can't do anything to pass through you or be adventurous."

United sit fourth in the Premier League table, four points behind co-leaders Manchester City and Arsenal.
