EPL: Van Gaal just like Sir Alex - Giggs
The Welshman says that the Dutchman demands
respect and feels that the squad are being perfectly
primed to make up for last season's disappointing
Premier League campaign
Ryan Giggs says that new Manchester United boss
Louis van Gaal shares a similar aura to Sir Alex
Ferguson.
The Dutchman took charge of the Red Devils for the
first time on Thursday, overseeing a 7-0 pre-
season friendly win over LA Galaxy.
Van Gaal has famously won titles with Ajax, Bayern
Munich and Barcelona during his coaching career
and Giggs is not surprised at his vast success.
"Yes, I do see similarities [with Ferguson]," the
Welshman told reporters. "They both have an aura
about them but that comes from the success they
have had.
"They demand that the players respond and they
demand respect. In the short space of time I have
worked with Louis, you can see why he has been a
success. He is infectious."
Giggs also revealed Van Gaal's meticulous planning
and believes that the players are looking forward to
making up for last season's disappointing
campaign.
"He wants everything right from the first minute of
training to the last," he added. "Everything we are
working from is the blueprint he sent over from the
World Cup, every minute of every session is laid
down.
"Just everything he does is clear and everyone
gets it straight away. He has a unique way of
putting it over and it’s brilliant to see.
"It's quite simple but, if you make a mistake, he will
tell you and, if you do something good, he will tell
you. He makes no bones about who you are.
"I'm sure [the players] can't wait to get onto Old Trafford and produce the form they are all capable
of."
