Manchester United No2 Ryan Giggs expects their football to improve after the club's buying spree.
Giggs, now reveling in his own new role as Van Gaal's assistant, is sure the new faces will help the team get back on track soon.
"Crisp passing is central to it. And all good teams are built of a solidarity at the back," he told the Sunday Times. "But we also want to have exciting players who get the fans on their feet and show individual brilliance and individual magic.
"We've now got players who can do that and fit the structure of how Louis wants to play."
