Last summer, Old Trafford became bustling with a series of stars arriving.
Van Gaal was sad because Man Utd lost shockingly to Leicester last weekend.
The above number is much larger than the $45 million that David Moyes received last summer to bring in his student Maroune Fellaini.
Competition results
As of round five of the Premier League, Man Utd is currently ranked 12th with five points.
If you compare the opponents Man Utd met in the first five rounds of last season and this season, Moyes’ superiority is even greater.

Transfer
After succeeding Alex Ferguson, David Moyes was not free to shop because of the pressure from the fact that he inherited the team that had just won the Premier League.
Unlike Moyes, Van Gaal is free to buy players he likes.
Buying more aggressively, but Man Utd – Van Gaal in the matches has not brought adequate results.
Moyes was criticized harshly but he still had a better start than Van Gaal.
Style play
The competitive spirit and beauty of Man Utd’s attacking style under Van Gaal are rated higher than Moyes.
Last season, Moyes always used a 4-4-2 formation, focusing on flank attacks and creating predictability and boredom.
Photos and statements to the media
Moyes last season under the shadow of Sir Alex was quite cautious in the early rounds.
Meanwhile, Van Gaal appeared confident and decisive.
