Good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't see him as top defender because of this. He might be a spectacular defender but a good one? He still has to prove imo that he can actually defend without his athleticism bailing him out of the bad positions he gets into way too often. Also for a top defender these days imo you simply have to be comfortable on the ball as well tragically non of our defenders is, maybe Lindelöf but he still has a lot to prove when it comes to having the needed defensive qualities to make it at a top club.
Van Gaal slams United for sacking him, AGAIN!

I'm not surprised he's angry with the club as he was never an easy going personality. That said, his sacking was completely justified and we're a better team now. Moyes is similar though I understand why he is a little bitter about it.
It's a shame to have a growing list of recent ex managers with an animus against the club.
If Blind is more suited for Spain than England, why did the deluded fool buy him for us? Nepotism I suppose.
Always suspected he would be more annoying than Moyes if he started yakking. Guess the paychecks from Ed have dried up now.
This. The idea that his exit was unclassy because it was announced on the day of the FA Cup win is laughable considering we gave him 6 months longer than he should have had.
Another club would have hired Jose by then and he would be the one lifting that FA Cup, assuming we made it there under him.
Enjoy a mince pie and whine Louis
At times Bailly has been very very good. However, there definitely have been times where he's been very shaky and rash. The important thing for him is to improve that consistency.
Whenever I read Van Gaal's name,I always remembered the december masssacre(losing to bournemouth,stoke and etc.6 winless game in a row)
He should be sacked after boxing day that season

Literally go feck yourself LVG, you were without doubt the most useless and clueless cnut ever in charge of our club (including Moyes) and your piss poor management and transfer dealing is arguably the biggest reason we are where we are currently are so feck you and merry Christmas.
Both LVG and Moyes were disastrous for Utd, resulting in making one of the best clubs in Europe a laughing stock. However, I did think LVG's inevitable dismissal was poorly timed. As for Moyes, words fail me.
I'd bet LVG and Trump would get along great. Both deluded, overly confident, don't question me attitudes and opinions in spades. Moyes is a wannabe.
It's hardly a war with us, I don't think that many fans will care if Blind leaves, I certainly won't anyway.
Was a scandal! Couldn't believe we didn't get rid, with Jose available and all.
Imagine Jose had been snapped up later!!
baahaahaPlus they both think they can both Make United (States) Great Again.
Spot on. His tenure was more damaging than Moyes imo.
It really was. He was here two years and signed a bunch of trash.
More from LVG
Belgians should be grateful to us
"I think the manner in which Manchester United treated me was horrible, and treacherous as well.
"I had plenty of offers of work after I left United. The Belgian FA wanted me to become their national coach.
"But I couldn't take a job with anyone for a year, because of the conditions United attached to my severance payment.
"So I missed out on the Belgium job, among others, despite thinking it would be a terrific challenge.
"I felt so resentful about letting this opportunity slip. It was stupid, as sporting considerations are the most important.
"But back then I felt it was more about taking revenge on United, and that they should have to pay me the maximum amount."
"The way Barcelona's president Josep Lluis Nunez behaved with me was fantastic.
"Not everyone in the world of football is a fake."

I had a lot of time for LVG. How he behaved quietly over the last year or so. But now he is beginning to annoy me more than Moyes. Atleast Moyes doesn’t come up with stupid stuff like I wanted to take revenge etc.
Take revenge on United?
Whatever mate, your football was shite.

So he supposedly shot himself in the foot because he wanted revenge on us by taking a fat paycheck? Not one bit of that doesn't make him sound like a dickhead. I'm glad someone that pathetic and the shite that was served up from them is gone from our club, although the stain lingers.
Oh Louis, you turned down a job you really wanted just because you wanted coin? You do know that we agreed to pay you that amount because we were happy to do so right?I'm at least glad the old dog has found a reason to not go gently into that dark night.

Took revenge by receiving the pay out fee, and then complained about not being able to take another job due to that? What's about the retirement plan?
In a perfect world (or a book) Klopp would be sacked and Liverpool would hire LvG, bringing a season full of drama, revenge and quotes.
His interviews are as boring as ManUtd's performances under him. So predictable.
He didnt have to accept the severance money,he could have refused and took another job,still very much deluded!!
I wish he wasn’t so bitter. I quite liked him as United manager.
A spot of self roastage by old Vangle panties, Belgium are in our debt.
He's lost his marbles. As if however much we paid him off isn't just a drop in the ocean for us. Our managerial appointments post Sir Alex have been dire.
Great interview, very typical how Louis uses the word treacherous. I happen to remember very well what happened back in 2011, when Van Gaal got himself appointed CEO of Ajax behind Cruijff's back. The lawsuit and forced cancellation of the appointment showed who the real treacherous person was.

You work for united?

To be honest, he's such a disaster he actually reflects worse on Ed Woodward than he does on himself.
If you buy a nice looking sandwich and it turns out it tastes shite and upsets your stomach, that's just bad luck on your part.
If you buy a dodgy looking sandwich, and it tastes shite and upsets your stomach, and then you come back and eat another bit of the sandwich anyway...then end up having to pay the sandwich compensation for not finishing it, you are an absolute fecking moron. Its no longer the sandwich that is to blame.

100% this.....dickhead is right! The old twonk couldn’t even get being fired right!
After all these terrible quotes about us, anyone still defending him needs his head checked tbh.
What's that any different from Moyes repeatedly saying he deserved a chance here ?

Should've won more games, Louis.
Where are all the people that argued with me how LVG was dignified with his exist while Moyes just cried?
Revenge for what? Sacking him after inventing a cure for insomnia with our squad?
Fake manager calling Woodward a fake. Pot. Kettle.
If Woodward watches his own interview about van Gaal in the summer of 2015 when he praised him and called him a genius, he would be cringing now. It looks really funny now, the total lack of vision we had but the self-confident manner in which we went about inviting disaster.
Behave yourself, we treated him like shit, he has every right to be bitter, we paid him to keep stum for a year, but were quite happy for the friggin saviour of the universe to name drop him at nearly every presser during that year.
Woodward and the Glazers really couldn't have handled the post-fergie transition any worse could they?
They appointed two awful candidates at a time when Guardiola and Klopp were both on the move. And we're still paying them for the privilege of having them as owners.
Thank God their commercial skills outweigh their football ones.

Van Gaal has built an entire career from one success: the 1995 champions league. It's incredible who he has conned so many for so long.
This.
