Perfect Start for Louis van Gaal As Manchester United crush LA Galaxy 7-0

The new United manager watched his team stroll through their opening tour game against a lamentable LA Galaxy here at the Rose Bowl.

Man United first-half (3-4-3):De Gea; Smalling, Jones, Evans; Valencia, Fletcher, Herrera, Shaw; Mata; Welbeck, Rooney.

Man United second-half (3-4-3):Lindegaard; M Keane, Fletcher, Blackett; Rafael, Cleverley, Herrera, James; Kagawa; Nani, Young.

Goals: Welbeck 13, Rooney 41 (pen) and 45, James 62 and 84, Young 88 and 90.

LA Galaxy: Penedo; Gargan, Meyer, Leonardo, DeLaGarza; Ishizaki, Sarvas, Juninho, Husidic; Keane, Zardes.

Booked: Keane, Leonardo.

Referee: Baldomero Toledo

Man of the Match:Ander Herrera

With the stadium almost full – there were more than 86,000 here - on a beautiful, warm California night, United perhaps felt compelled to put on a good show.
Whatever the case they began well and scored in just the 13th minute.Van Gaal chose to use the 3-4-3 formation he deployed with Holland at the World Cup and it will be interesting to see if he keeps faith in it. More noticeable in the first half, though, was the performance in the centre of midfield by new signing Ander Herrera.
The Spaniard was impressive from the start, passing the ball well and helping United to set the rhythm they needed and so often lacked under David Moyes last season.
