‘And I don’t understand that, because I actually have this kind of ingrained way of playing.
‘But when Louis van Gaal came here – and I wasn’t a big fan of Louis Van Gaal’s football – he could play a very different style of play, which some people didn’t like and some people did, but you could never do that. argue that he has not delivered a playing style’.
