Rule number one of being a player under Louis van Gaal. Pay attention to the manager.
Not only did the Dutchman outline that in a great (if slightly alcohol induced) manner during the Player Of The Season awards, he has reinforced it in the best managerial press conference since Rafa Benitez and his ‘facts’ rant.
In fact (sorry Rafa) the then Liverpool boss ended up looking like an idiot, while Van Gaal managed to win the internet. Again.
Without further ado, here is how the internet reacted to his press conference during Manchester United’s pre-season tour.
If you want to play in defence, you have to defend. Who knew…
Oh, and if you want to play at all, never refuse to feature for the reserves…
Buying and selling players is a process you know…
Even the press didn’t escape from his wrath…
Duck. Everyone just duck…
And that was LVG sober. Amazing stuff.
