Man Utd boss van Gaal blasts new signing
Dutch global Depay, who completed a 38.9 million move to Old Trafford in June, scored United’s second of the night at the Avaya Stadium as Louis van Gaal’s side secured a second consecutive win on their US tour.
“The first half I was satisfied-the players have performed what we wanted in the defensive organization, and they have created a lot of chances, 10, and they scored two goals so I was satisfied”, Van Gaal said.
“I have to do my job, so then yeah, maybe in time I can be a legend”. He has expressed is gratitude as he has heard “positive sounds from the fans and the legends that talk about him.” “I am grateful for that”.
United’s manager gave him his Holland debut in October 2013, and Depay admits it was an easy choice to make when he learned of Van Gaal’s interest.
“I don’t want to say he is a father figure, but he is a great manager”, the 21-year-old said of his manager. “Overall, our players look good”. The youngster feels working with Van Gaal has made him a better player. I feel stronger. I feel fit.
Real have signed Kiko Casilla from Espanyol as cover for the departed Iker Casillas and manager Rafael Benitez has denied the club are interested in signing De Gea, who has one year remaining on his United contract. “The Premier League is different”.
Depay netted 22 goals to finish as the Eredivisie’s top scorer last season. I will put pressure on myself to play well in every game but I have to improve.
“We have to be creative”.
Manchester United have plethora of talent at the attacking positions which includes the likes of Juan Mata, Angel Di Maria, Ashley Young, Adnan Januzaj and Andreas Pereira. Manchester United play Barcelona next in Santa Clara on Saturday and Louis Van Gaal will be hoping United continue to impress on tour.
“We spoke about how big the club was, how the fans are. Football is a curious world, but Ramos will be staying”.
