Ronald de Boer is supremely confident that Louis van Gaal is the man to achieve success at Manchester United.
The Holland national team boss has signed a three-year deal with the Red Devils and will take over after guiding the Oranje at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Current Ajax youth coach de Boer won three Dutch Eredivisie titles and the 1995 Champions League under van Gaal so is well-versed to know the capabilities he possesses and attributes he will be taking to Old Trafford.
"It's always difficult to predict but I rate his qualities so highly that there's a big chance he'll be successful," de Boer told Sky Sports News.
"United have to turn it around 360 degrees but if there's a man who can do it I would say van Gaal is the man."
He added: "United is already a great club but he's very organised, he plans always from the start and he will have a game plan. That's very important and clear for everybody.
"He's a winner. Any manager wants to win but he gives 100 per cent and expects that from his players. When he wins he's happy and when he loses he's angry but he wants to get on.
"He's a great character and will be very interesting for the English media!"
