Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal confirms cancer treatment has been a success

Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that the treatment he has undergone for an aggressive form of prostate cancer has been successful.

Last week, Van Gaal, who is currently in his third spell as the Netherlands manager, revealed on Dutch TV that he was battling the disease. He made the surprise announcement during an appearance on 'Humberto', on which he was appearing to talk about his new film - 'LOUIS' - in which his cancer is addressed.

He admitted that the form of cancer was an aggressive one, that he'd had it for a prolonged period and had already undergone treatment on 25 occasions. Now, though, he has admitted that the 25 bouts of treatment have been a success.
