The former United star claims the Dutchman is 'too
pragmatic', treats players like 'robots' and is not suited to managing the
club.
Kanchelskis' stinging criticism follows a run of three
successive games in which Van Gaal's shot-shy side have failed to score.
The 64-year-old defended his style of play last week after
being accused by United legend Paul Scholes of lacking creativity.
But Scholes' old teammate Kanchelskis, who won the Premier League under
Sir Alex Ferguson during a four-year stay in
the early 90s, said: "Van Gaal is too pragmatic, his footballers play like
robots.
"They are kept within a strict framework, they are not
allowed to improvise, contrary to what Ferguson allowed us to do.
"Van Gaal, of course, is a good coach but, in my
opinion, he is not for Manchester United. I’m looking at his game for the
second season now.
"He says that the transformation is going on, but I
still couldn’t understand what he is looking for.
"There is an impression that he doesn’t know what he
wants. No creative players, no wingers. Nobody could serve Wayne Rooney.
"The current Manchester is not the same as it was under
Ferguson."
Kanchelskis was speaking to Sport Express ahead of
United's Champions League meeting with CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night.
He watched the previous clash between the two sides in
Russia last month, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and he reckons CSKA
have nothing to fear at Old Trafford.
“The first game against CSKA showed that it’s possible to
win against this team," said the ex-Russia international.
“I was at the stadium and I was surprised how disgustingly
United played in the first half. A lot of ball control but no sharpness at all.
“In the second half it got better because of the
substitution of Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was slowing the game down. I guess,
Manchester United is not his team.
“It’s in the history and tradition of Man United to play
wide and be sharp at the flanks but there is nothing like this now.
“Yes, changes in the second half had worked. Marouane Fellaini was a good sub and, if he were
used properly, he could be very useful.”
