Louis Van Gaal won the FA Cup in his second season at Manchester United

The 67-year-old told German magazine 11 Freunde: At Bayern, the people in charge are football men. I always appreciated that.At Manchester United, on the other hand, Ed Woodward was installed as CEO somebody with zero understanding of football who was previously an investment banker.It cannot be a good thing when a club is run solely from a commercially-driven perspective.I dont hold it against the club. They wanted Mourinho and he was on the market.Getty2

Ed Woodward has been criticised by Louis Van Gaal

Van Gaal finished fourth in his first season in charge but missed out on Champions League football the following campaign and was ultimately sacked.He was heavily criticised during his reign at Old Trafford and was axed two days after winning the FA Cup. He was then quickly replaced by Jose Mourinho.“Appointing Mourinho was obviously interesting from a business point of view,” Van Gaal added. “He wins games. And for a club like United, the main thing is to win trophies.“How they are won isn’t the main priority, the English fans see it differently. They accept that the game is not all about attacking but it is also about defending.“I always tried to defend high up the pitch, to be in the opposition’s half and play the game there.”
