He’s wrong about us being more boring under Mourinho than under him. His time at United exposed fans to a worse playing style than under Moyes!

I always played attacking football. The proof is that the opposition were always parking the bus.

I always suspected but now I am convinced that Hafi is actually Van Gaal.

“I would rather watch City play than United,” said Van Gaal.

“You need quality in a squad and it's clear City have a better squad.

"If you ask me how did I do at United, I will say it was my best year ever, given the circumstances I was working under.

“We played football that was quite alright. But it's not football that is appreciated in England.

“And yet, right now, looking at United, I have to conclude Mourinho is not being criticized while it's far more boring football.

“What United produce now is defensive football. I always played attacking football. The proof is that the opposition were always parking the bus.

“They don’t do that now because Jose Mourinho plays so defensive."

“He [Mourinho] is not an awful man,” said Van Gaal. “In fact, I think he is a sympathetic guy. He was my assistant at Barcelona.

“I worked with him and what Mourinho did [taking his job] is what often happens in football.’’

“I have more problems with the CEO, Ed Woodward. He never discussed anything with me - and you can talk about anything with me.

“With all my experience, I know the unwritten laws of football. A club has to prepare for the future.

“I can understand that and they should have approached me. Ed could talk to me but he did not.’

“My wife had to find out when she was in the lift with Woodward’s family.

They said something like 'This is going to be awkward for Ed',” said Van Gaal.

“My wife had sussed them out ages ago. She warned me that something was going on.’’

How he even thinks he got us playing 'attacking football' is amazing and delusional

“I would rather watch City play than United,” said Van Gaal.

“You need quality in a squad and it's clear City have a better squad.

This is a guy who spent 200 million and got us no where.No where.

There was a Barca fan (during LVG's time at United) that said he's getting a rough ride because the English don't understand his style.

I don't agree myself but maybe his style is actually attractive to different country's and cultures? Including his.

Didn't we set a record of least goals scored under LVG? Delusional is the only word for this guy

this is the bloke that had us hoofing it to Fellaini and passing the ball backwards a huge amount of times.

If we played such great attacking football why did we create the least amount of chances in the league during his final season?

But..but teams were parking the bus.
Absolute BS from LVG here and to think I had sympathy for him with the way the club terminated his contract.
Jesus christ he made people literally sleep at OT.
The f*ckin idiot.

0-0 at half time, every game.

We played very attacking football when Norwich twaatted us at Old Trafford as well two years ago.

I miss his interviews.

i'd have to say your football is nowhere near as boring as it was with the horrible van gaal. really can't think of any team as hard to watch as that one. moyes was a step up.
what was the dust up about?

LVG dropping some truth bombs

if i wasnt a United fan I would rather watch City that the garbage Jose makes us pay to watch

I miss Louis’ interviews, always amusing. Clearly City play better football than us but to describe his football at United as attacking and better than what we’re currently seeing is madness.

This is a guy who spent 200 million and got us no where.No where

Well, to be fair to Louis van Gaal, Mourinho spend was allowed to spend half that on just one player.

And I do see where van Gaal is coming from...to me, under Jose Mourinho, United have become a flat track bully....play attacking football against far inferior teams, but against any top six team park the bus in a way that makes Louis van Gaals football look horny.....

All mourinho has done is made us better at being flat track bullies

against any half decent opposition we get our pants pulled down and taught a footballing lesson

I'd much rather have LVG back than this clown Mourinho who's clearly past it and his football is garbage

Mourinho the Specialist In Boredom

United under lvg played more attacking football in the big games.

LVG just sounds bitter to me. We’re far from perfect but we’re in the best position as a club since SAF’s departure.

Jose is starting to run out of time... with the money we have spent, there is no excuses for being so far behind City quality wise.

We don't look good enough to win the league or champions league.. and we are playing poor brand of football.

Dont wory, Jose will jump ship soon... he's getting found out at United and Pep on the blue side is making him look like a dinosaur. Plus, Paris will come calling for him.
