| Rio Ferdinand has accused Louis van Gaal of making Manchester United's style boring |
The Red Devils have built up a reputation for fast attacking football over the years, thanks largely to the ethos of former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
However, the arrival of Louis van Gaal has brought about changes at Old Trafford and Ferdinand believes they are not for the better.
He told the London Evening Standard: "What is different between the philosophy of Manchester United under Van Gaal and Manchester United under Ferguson? Everything.
"In terms of players, the personnel are completely different, and they way they play. You associate Manchester United with pace and power, explosive fantasy in the final third, but that's not the way it is now.
"Manchester United fans are having to re-educate themselves on what they're going to see. You're not going to see what you saw for the last 25 years.
"It will be a completely different type of football, not football I enjoy watching as much and probably most United fans are like that.
"It's methodical and really slow going side to side whereas before it was 'bang, go'. It's getting the ball through the team not very quickly, keeping the ball from side to side and waiting for an opening and the time to come for a glaring opportunity to go forward."
