Van Gaal: Koeman feud not on agenda as players 'have to do it' at Southampton on Sunday

Louis van Gaal insists he will prepare for the game against Southampton like any other

MANCHESTER UNIETD manager Louis van Gaal insists he will approach this Sunday's clash with Southampton as he would any other game.

There appears to be added spice to the fixture, with Van Gaal set to go up against old nemesis Ronald Koeman.
The pair fell out in spectacular fashion during their time together at Ajax, with Van Gaal branding Koeman "weak" for the way he handled star players.

However, Van Gaal insists the game is not special and will be prepared for in the usual way.
“I approach all matches in the same way, in the same procedure and with the same amount of meetings," he said.
"We want to help the players play the game against Southampton and beat them. That is what we are doing as the staff but the players have to do it, of course.”

Koeman echoes his Dutch counterpart's words and says he will welcome his old foe for a post-match glass of wine in his office.
The Saints boss is equally keen to concentrate on the game and is more concerned about beating United as a team rather than the boss himself.
"If we beat them I will be happy for the fans and the players, not especially because I beat the manager," he said.
