| Van Gaal |
Van Gaal, who was appointed in May but was at the World Cup with
the Netherlands until last weekend, arrives at Old Trafford with a
reputation as a fearsome manager. But the 62-year-old countered: "I'm democratic, empathetic to human beings. "Of course I have a strong personality, but the other characteristics are more important." He said speculation over his management style was
"unfair", adding that "the media want to show that part of the
personality. When you repeat that, everybody thinks like that."
Van Gaal, who also revealed that midfielder Michael
Carrick had been injured in training this week and would be out for "a
long time", also called United "the biggest club in the world".
The squad returned for pre-season training on 4 July,
with assistant Ryan Giggs taking charge while Van Gaal was helping to
guide the Netherlands to the World Cup semi-final.
Van Gaal has been asked to rejuvenate the Old Trafford
club following last season's disappointing campaign under David Moyes.
