Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata have become the latest Manchester United players to send messages of support and good will to former boss Louis van Gaal who revealed he was fighting cancer on Sunday.
The 70-year-old told Dutch TV show ‘Humberto’ that he has an aggressive form of the illness and has received treatment for it on 25 occasions over a prolonged period. After being invited onto the show to promote his new film ‘LOUIS’, in which it addresses his cancer battle, the Netherlands national team boss explained he had kept it from his players.
He said: "In each period during my time as manager of the national team, I had to leave in the night to go to the hospital without the players finding it out until now, while thinking I was healthy. But I am not.
