Edgar Davids: Man United ‘blessed’ to have Louis Van Gaal

Davids’ stellar 20-year career was kick-started under the tutelage of Van Gaal at Ajax and as the vultures circle his mentor, with Jose Mourinho hovering over the Old Trafford hotseat, the 43-year-old is urging the United hierarchy to consider the broader picture before opting to replace the incumbent.
“I definitely think it is a blessing for Manchester United to have a coach like Van Gaal,” said Davids yesterday at Lansdowne Road, in his capacity as FC Barcelona’s ambassador for the International Champions Cup friendly against Celtic on July 30.
