LVG says “At Bayern they would have stopped me, at Man United they just keep buying” [Telegraaf]

New Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal was speaking this week at a football awards ceremony in Holland.

The Dutchman spoke about the support he receives at Old Trafford and the chance to manage Spurs this summer.

After spending silly amounts of money during his first few months at Manchester United, Van Gaal said “At Bayern, they would have stopped me. But do you know what United’s people do? They just keep buying!”

Van Gaal claimed he was very tempted to join Spurs but felt Manchester United are the number one team in England.
