Found a decent article courtesy of the FightingCock detailing van Gaal's preferred formation and style of play, makes for an interesting read
http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/2014/03/what-life-would-be-like-under-van-gaal/
With that in mind I think our best LvG team would be
--------------- Lloris
Walker - Kaboul - Vert - NEW LB
---------------- Dembele
---------- Eriksen ----- Siggy
Lamela -------- Ade --------- Chadli
Dembele would be a deep lying playmaker rather than CDM - he could be swapped for Sandro or Capoue in tough games, or Bentaleb, Eriksen or Carroll for games where we can expect to dominate posession.
What say you?
Van Gaal tactics

that defence would be taken apart

It depends how the team's playing Chronic, whether the midfield can retain the ball and use it well enough. As Devonshire said, it's very similar to how Liverpool have set up this season.

For me we have to build our team around a spine of Lloris, Chirches, Sandro, Eriksen and Ade.

As Van Gaal would be the first proven manager we have had since George Graham I am quite excited

Fair enough Greatteams, I think Holtby would probably be a better fit in terms of working off the ball.. Siggy's just a personal fave
