Louis van Gaal opened his reign atManchester Unitedmanager with a stunning 7-0 win overLA Galaxyas doubles from Wayne Rooney, Reece James and Ashley Young, along with a strike from Danny Welbeck, sealed a comfortable victory.New recruits Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw were handed starts, while Van Gaal - David Moyes' replacement - opted for a 3-4-1-2 formation that was similar to that used by the Netherlands at theWorld Cup in Brazil.The change in system proved effective during the early exchanges andWelbeckgot the ball rolling in the 13th minute, benefiting from an advantage following a foul on Juan Mata before striking the ball off the post and into the net from a full 25 yards.United gained a stranglehold of proceedings in the 42nd minute, whenRooneyconverted a spot-kick after the referee awarded a penalty for handball against the Galaxy, who are fourth in the Western Conference standings in MLS.Rooneythen put the result beyond doubt on the stroke of half-time, pouncing on some awful defending to bundle the ball over the line for his second of the match.Van Gaal made wholesale changes at the break, with Darren Fletcher and Herrera the only two players to keep their places in the XI, and it ultimately disrupted the flow of the game.However, Young cut the ball back in the box and it found its way toJames, who scored a similar goal to Welbeck just past the hour-mark, before the 20-year-old struck again with five minutes remaining.But United were not done there withYounggetting in on the action with two goals in as manyminutes during the closing stages to add some sheen to the scoreline.Tweet Follow @punshcomempower
