| Wim Kieft believes Louis van Gaal is not making the most of Ryan Giggs on his coaching staff |
LOUIS VAN GAAL's treatment of Ryan Giggs is 'unbelievable', claims Dutch legend Wim Kieft.
The former striker who spent the majority of his career in the Eredivsie, believes Van Gaal is stifling Ryan Giggs' coaching input.
And he thinks the Dutchman relies too heavily on his fellow countrymen Frans Hoek and Albert Stuivenberg, when he should be utilising Giggs' superior experience.
He said: "No one in Holland could believe what we saw when United played PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
"When Luke Shaw was injured they had eight minutes to prepare Marcos Rojo to come on as a substitute.
"How did they use that time? Frans Hoek comes out with a pack of papers and then has to put his glasses on to read the instructions out to Rojo. Then Van Gaal’s other assistant, Albert Stuivenberg, goes and tells Rojo what to do.
"Finally Van Gaal thinks ‘I better instruct him in my own words’, so, he is, the third guy telling Rojo how to play.
"Ryan Giggs was nowhere to be seen, and he is the one man on Van Gaal’s coaching staff who has played more matches at the top level than any of the other coaches and has major experience.
"It seems Van Gaal is relying too much on his Dutch staff – and we all saw the problems that caused when he did the same thing at Barcelona."
