He does not understand English football' - Kanchelskis SLAMS Van Gaal

The Manchester United legend insists that the Dutchman does not understand the heritage of the club, with pressure mounting amid

reports that Jose Mourinho is poised to take over

Andrei Kanchelskis has slammed Louis van Gaal amid growing discontent over the Manchester United manager's playing style.

Kanchelskis, who won two Premier League titles at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson, criticised the Dutchman in November for turning the United squad into "robots" and has now suggested that Van Gaal does not understand the club's heritage.

United are on their worst run of form in 17 years after going six games without a win and speculation persists over the 64-year-old's future, with Jose Mourinho reportedly in line to take over should Van Gaal be sacked.

"I am disappointed with the way United are playing," Kanchelskis told Reuters.
