Louis van Gaal

It has been an honor to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition.

I am not a usual coach: it doesn't matter for me who are scoring the goals.

I have no ambition to be a technical director or TV pundit.

Winning the FA Cup with Manchester United was my biggest achievement.

It cannot be a good thing when a club is run solely from a commercially-driven perspective.

I back all of my players, not only Wayne Rooney.

Players count for nothing. The team is everything.

It is not normal that one team dominates for 20 years in a row as the champion.

I think the team is always better than the individual player.

It's not hard at all to make the switch from United to Oranje. For a manager, it's totally different than for a player.

Success at United doesn't depend on money but about which players we bring in.

Sometimes players are very fed up with my communication, but that's what I do, and they know how I think. But they know I am very transparent.
