IMO the trouble is that what LVG is doing now should have been done a year ago, I said when it became apparent that Moyes was out of his depth that the longer he was kept in the job the more damage would be done and the longer it would take United to recover.
Finishing top four was possible last year but Moyes inability to set out an attacking strategy meant that home form was terrible. This has made signing top players much more difficult and hit finances.
He threw away £70m on panic buys which weren't necessarily what United needed but what he needed to take the pressure off himself. This means that LVG has less money to spend and players on long contracts that he may not want.
Then there's the fact that the players have trained with Moyes for nearly a full season and had his ways drilled into them day in day out. It's not like LVG can just flick a switch and undo all of that over night.
LVG has been given a far more difficult job than what he would have had a year ago.
