Dutch legend Clarence Seedorf says Manchester United must rally around Louis van Gaal.
Seedorf won the Champions League with Ajax under Van Gaal and says he should be allowed to impose his style of play on United.
"I do not know who is critical of Van Gaal, but I'm sure the players are not unhappy, because they are second in the league. You can love him or you cannot love him and you can keep the playing style or not, but in football there are more than one road that leads to results," Seedorf told BBC Sport.
"Every coach has the right to work with his own philosophy when he gains the intended results. I hope he continues, because they are near the top.
"Whether he has changed? No, I do not think much. He has always been successful and won things."
