Louis van Gaal went mad when some of his Manchester United players were one minute late for lunch.

United target man Marouane Fellaini revealed Van Gaal, a stickler for time and discipline, blew his top at a group of his squad and issued on the spot fines.

Fellaini, who has enjoyed a revival under Van Gaal, said: “He blew a fuse the other day when a group of 10 of us were one minute late for lunch after training.

“You think one minute is nothing and it wasn’t for training, but for the canteen. For him it’s important though.

“He dished out a few fines. That’s what happens to late-comers and even for a red card. You get fined, too, for a bad foul”.

Fellaini also claimed United will be “a machine” next season under Van Gaal, whom he claimed was merely running in his players this term, just like a new car.

“We’ve worked with him for months and are getting to know him,” said Fellaini.

“His thing is circulating the ball and pressing the opponent. Everything is repetition with him.

“We do practically the same exercises each week. Next season we will be a machine. At the moment, we are running it in.

“There is intensity and people get stuck in. Players limp about, but there is never a foul. There is no referee.

“We lost one session 1-0. [Robin] van Persie scored after a heavy foul, but Van Gaal didn’t blow. It’s in those games that you have to win your place.”

And the Belgian international admitted he wept when David Moyes, the man who took him from Everton for £27.5 million, was sacked.

He said: “I was sad when he went. I came into the canteen and saw him in a suit instead of his tracksuit. He called me into his office and told me.

“There were tears and that is normal, I am human. I worked six years with him. He was not a second father, but almost. He helped me a lot”.
