Louis Van Gaal wants revenge over Manchester United
Dutch manager Louis Van Gaal has been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in 2016 and he has not forgotten the way he was kicked out of the club. He managed to lead the Red Devils to their first trophy after the Alex Ferguson era as he won the FA Cup but he was sacked to make way for Portuguese boss Jose Mourinho. Van Gaal still had a year on his contract with Manchester United when he was sacked and he was linked to the Everton manager role earlier this year after the sacking of Ronald Koeman, but the job was taken by Sam Allardyce. The 66-year-old Dutch manager says he doesn't really want to get back to managing a club, with one exception: a job in the Premier League. He said: “I will probably not manage a club anymore. I would make one exception - if a big English club comes for me, then I would do it. Because then I can get the chance to get one over on Manchester United.” Van Gaal insists he has nothing personal against Jose Mourinho, but he was bitterly disappointed by the Manchester United board. However, he did have a few things to say about how Manchester United are playing under Jose Mourinho: “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 criticised 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." Manchester United are 11 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City and they are 20/1 at Bet365 to win the title this season.
