Louis van Gaal has vowed to keep his emotions in check after taking a dive on the sidelines to make a point to the fourth official in Manchester United’s match against Arsenal.
The Dutchman said that the display is likely to a be a one-off as he prefers to pull the tactical strings from the dugout rather than the technical area.
“I am not a clown,” he told a press conference. “I am Louis van Gaal, I am a human being and a manager.
“It is not part of my philosophy, I don’t think you can influence the game from that spot.
“The players have think on the pitch. Not the manager.”
Van Gaal was handed another blow on Monday as defender Donald Love limped out of the Under-21s’ match with Middlesbrough, but the boss had some good news regarding recoveries on Tuesday.
“Marouane Fellaini and Antonio Valencia are the next ones to come back, I think. Fellaini [is close] and Valencia trained with the group today. So they’re coming back.”
One update that will be less well recieved by fans, however, is the news that Wayne Rooney’s knee is still in a brace
