Louis van Gaal showcased his unique sense of humour when responding to criticism from former Manchester United star Angel di Maria.
Van Gaal is currently focused on leading the Netherlands at the World Cup, with a quarter-final against Di Maria's Argentina looming on Friday evening. But ahead of the match, he was asked to respond to comments from the Juventus winger, who called him the "worst coach of my career".
"The fact he would refer to me as the worst trainer, he is one of the only players to have said that," Van Gaal replied. "It's usually the other way round. It is sad, I don't like that Angel said that but it's a pity… but it's the way it is. A head coach has to take decisions that don't always end well.
