The way he says "am sorry" in the end of the video is absolutely genius because symbolically he took the media as dumbs during the whole interview as he repeated the same things over and over again which enabled him to never really give any substance to his replies!

Could be. But I think he said sorry in the end referring to the last question about experienced players. Because he doesn't believe there are experienced players at United in terms of an experienced total person. Even Rooney.

AceITH007 Yeah he legitimately did that but nobody really knows..

Van Gaal is so confident whereas Moyes was petrified

12:13 where he's trying to look for the journalist asking the question is hilarious

he is realistic honest and knows the challenges ahead are great and is not promising anything until he can get to know the team and what he needs to do and as a United supporter I am excited about our team and urge people to give him time he is a great manager and has proven that so I am delighted to have him with us.

ConcordDown He is a top class manager, but the team needs serious overhaul, carrick, cleverly, nani, young, welbeck, all not good enough. Welbeck has potential but the way he's been playing he literally couldn't score in a brothel. Nani again great potential but again is just shite, cleverly I wouldn't let him guard me wheelie bin never mind the middle of the pitch, Young, well if I was manager last season I'd have taken him out the back and beat his head in with a pipe, such a useless cunt he is. Carrick well i just fear he's now past it in the same way Rio and Vidic was.

The most interesting parts of this interview are the ones that I haven't read about in the stories following the press conference - for example, his argument about youth vs experience and story about Seedorf. That's critical to understanding how LVG operates.

the most assuring thing for any united fan should be when he said "i think i can do it" as opposed to David "hopefully" Moyes... hope wins nothing, belief does.

Best manager since SAF.

Why didn't we hire this man after Sir Alex retired? He understands the club, is committed to great football and has that aura about him that almost no managers have. He will take us back to the very top where we belong!

In fact, when Ferguson announced that he would retire in 2002, LvG was apparently approached as successor. When Ferguson then decided not to retire, the deal fell through. When Ferguson eventually did retire, Van Gaal wasn't available as he had committed to coaching the Dutch national team into and including the 2014 world championship.

Wish you all the best,Mr. Louis van gaal.May success follow you all the way from Brazil to Old Trafford. Win or lose,United till I die

i cant wait him Luis Van Gaal he is really good head coach but i hope he can do well he is very quality and i hope he can do the continue the season as well

The comments section hasn't aged well 🤣🤣🤣

That bit at the end about experience was brilliant.

Putting all his achievements aside, this man still comes across as a confident person with realistic motives. When he accepted that "we finished 7th, so we haven't been the biggest club in playing this sport", he overhauled the false feelings some of us glory hunters have held onto for a long long time. Moyes was not a bad manager, he just wasnt fit for a job like Manchester United. The Iron Tulip has proved himself on the grandest stage of them all, and I sincerely believe he can restore the reputation that United has. I said restore, not avenge. Clubs like City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have also been through a transition...Chelsea and Liverpool with more than any, but they have found the trust of their loyalists and thats why they are challenging for the title again. A break from European football is bad for business, but its great for transitional purposes. We get one whole year under LVG to get our basics right and that I believe is promising. Manchester United will hunt again. GGMU!

im 5000 miles away from where this press conference is taking place and i can feel this man's presence something Moyes to this day doesnt have ..... there will be change in Manchester.

Great comment. I am looking at this press conference on a smartphone and the presence of LVG makes me feel like I am in the front row of the press room. So excited, I can't wait for the PL to start.This man will put the fire back in to style of football United play.

Ive been impressed by what ive seen by Van Gaal so far, ive got high expectations. His very last comments, in the last two minutes, about age, experience that we lack, and quote "Im Sorry", makes me confident we are looking at another 2-3/4 big signings in addition to the two we have grained already. Ill be browsing transfer rumours constantly for the next month :) We need a massive centre-back!!!

Assertive and confident, ready to back his words. Looking forward to the US tour Real Madrid vs Man United.

love him already

I like this man, he looks very confident and determined

Congratulations Manchester United, this man will make you an elite top club again in the long-term. I have seen his work @ Bayern and i think that van Gaal was the most influential manager in Bayern over the last decade.

As most United fans saw in the World Cup and this press conference this is a spitting image of Sir Alex. A manager that has won where ever he went, is a strong personality and isn't afraid to get rid of players that challenge him. Isn't afraid to make sub anyone out. As a United fan, you are so excited just for the season to start.

love the closing comments. similar to Sir Alex in his philosophy that if you want to become a twitter superstar rather than football champion,then you don't belong in my team, no matter how experienced or 'important' you are. an old school football manger who knows how to do the job and take zero bs is what Man Utd need atm. well done to the owners and management team for bringing in such a strong and opinionated manager. let's hope he can lead us to greatness

The man oozes confidence

Cannot wait for the new season. The difference between the way LVG and David Moyes come across in the press conference is like night and day. He is right every year we must prove we are the biggest club in the world, we were 7th and that is not acceptable. Like Sir Alex Ferguson said to his team after winning another title..who is ready to climb the mountain again with me.

Very calm and collected.

"wait...what was the question" 10:52 lol thats a familiar experience

Support u all the way louis! Luv ya! Best manager at utd aft Alex ferguson.

Really appreciate this

Louis is not cocky, he is just honest.

His English needs a bit of work. I like that he's gonna be patient and not rush into any quick fixes and assess the squad and get to know the plAyers.

how many are here after 2017?

He should've been given more time as a manager

I fucking love this guy!

Van gaal is a beast!

I think there will be some fireworks in his post-match interviews when he loses the odd game (and to be honest, I don't think he'll lose many!!), Top quality coach.

lol 09:11 Nicky Bock ! hahaha

As a fan of one of the five teams to have won the Premier League (Blackburn Rovers) I have to save I am excited by the appointment of Van Gaal. I hope us North West clubs batter the soft shits in London next season. Also, I look forward to the big personalities of Mourinho and Van Gaal coming toe to toe.

Rooney is probably watching this at home thinking like dam.. If I don't fit into this guys team I'm gonna be sold. I like loving in england :'(

Ajax is the biggest club in history in Soccer, Cups winners, 4 times Champions L, EuropaCup2, 1 time, Uefacup 1time, Euro Supercup 3 times World cup 2 times, Internation Football cup 1 time. And all those cups not with buying buying buying with alot of depts like Real Madrid, but all those cups with more than 85% own youth players! No any club can say that!

well said louie!

I predict a good season for Manchester United. Van Gaal is a brilliant coach.

like a boss

His English is amazing. Wow.

He's right. United are the biggest club. They aren't the best football team though. So much more exciting than what we had last season. Moyes was dull and inexperienced. Van Gaal is exciting, experienced and actually commands respect.

I thought he handled the press conference very well but there again you would expect hin to with his experience.

good luck Boss :)

His comment at the very end about few footballers being experienced with life in general could not be more true. 300,000 grand a week and a celebrity lifestyle means most grow up at 50. Beckham for example is just about beginning to realise what else their is to life after watching his documentary going deep into Brazil.

In the face, straight forward, clear in his head and a tactical genius! That's Louis Van Gaal for you! WELCOME TO THE GREATEST CLUB ON EARTH, GAFFER! You have big shoes to fill in! #manchesterunited #louisvangaal #genius #reddevilsforever

For everyone complaining that van Gaal is saying he's managing the "biggest club in the world" he means that its the most popular and most known club in the world, not the best. And actually it is the most popular club in the world. All over the world wherever you go, you see many Man United fans.

what the hell was his experience chat all about?! haha

Big BOSS. Manchester United ll b good again. Come on UTD

lol at Nike logos in the background...

No player is bigger than the Manager, the Team or the Club. Now we have the right manager to uphold the great work Sir Alex Ferguson had achieved with the club, that will enforce discipline and demand results on/off the pitch.

Hail Louis Van Gaal

I LOVE YOU

I'ma United Fan, Looking At Last Season, Moyes Was Like A Substitue Teacher That Didn't Have The Presence Or Aura About Him & The Students Just Walk Over Him! Think About It, It's Like In School When You Had This Powerful Mighty Teacher The Whole Time & He Left & In Comes A Man Who Has A Weaker Personality And The Students Realize "We Can Walk All Over Him" & Take Advantage Of That Weak Personality Moyes Had! Personally I'm Delighted That We Have This Type Of Man For Our Manager Because Some Of Those Players That Was Slacking Last Season Need A Fire Lit Under Their Arses! Something That Moyes Didn't Have The Ability To Do!

I love the fact that he's keeping expectation low.

If there's one thing I hope doesn't go awry, it;s the language barrier. Honestly, I don't know how good Van Gall speaks English, considering only 1 or 2 of the team are Dutch, and there are a fair amount that are Spanish. It could be a big deal in the relationship between manager and player.
