On a similar note, this was in yesterday's Telegraph: 'Yet if you were to compile a catalogue of surreal occurrences at United over the last couple of years, Van Gaal would not feature in the top 20. Consider: this is a club that decided, before its last home game, to paint the mascots blue in honour of the latest X-Men movie. Where the team bus has twice turned up late: once after being besieged by angry Cockneys, once after the driver took a shortcut and got stuck under a bridge. A club that has an Official Korean Ready Meal Partner, an Official Office Equipment Partner, an Official Timekeeping Partner (no sniggering), but no official Chris Smalling partner. Where the entire stadium was evacuated because someone left a phone in a toilet. No wonder Van Gaal was unwittingly cast as the straight man in all this. How do you fluster a club that is already flustered?' Nutty Louis van Gaal more than met his match at a Manchester United that has gone mad http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/24/nutty-louis-van-gaal-more-than-me | |
