9.36am Live: Andy Cole Message to Van Gaal


More from Andy on United's style. His message for Van Gaal is pretty clear.
“It was different to what the fans have been used to. When you watch Manchester United you expect them to play a certain way with a high-tempo and score loads of goals,” he said.

“The way we set up is like international football, where they keep possession of the football and don’t really hurt teams. In the Premier League, it's not really played like that.

“It’s not a typical Man United. It’s not Sir Alex Ferguson football where you had to attack because he and the fans would let you know you’re not attacking. That’s what everyone is so used to, so when you hear the fans singing “Attack, attack, attack”, that’s what they want to see."
Van Gaal is on holiday but United are busy in the transfer market
