Manchester United have seen a fair few managers come and go since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, but perhaps none as eccentric as Dutchman Louis van Gaal.
The former Bayern Munich boss was never one to shy away from saying exactly what was on his mind and that was made abundantly clear in the build-up to a Europa League knockout tie against FC Midtjylland in February of 2016. At the round of 32 stage, United were on the wrong end of a shock 2-1 score-line in the first leg, prompting Van Gaal to call on some rather unconventional motivation tactics.
Knowing he needed to spark some kind of reaction from his men, Van Gaal opened up on some of the pearls of wisdom he dishes out to the squad on a regular basis to reporters during his pre-match presser. Mata sat next to him, squirming in his seat.
