Louis van Gaal labelled 'pathetic' and told he makes good Man Utd players 'poor'

LOUIS VAN GAAL has been called 'crass' and 'pathetic' by the reporter he called fat this week.

 

Louis van Gaal has been slammed by Sun journalist Neil Custis

 

Van Gaal reacted angrily to questions about Wayne Rooney after Tuesday night's 3-3 draw with Newcastle.

And the Sun's Manchester correspondent Neil Custis took the flak from the Dutchman.

 

And as he left the room, he added, “You too, fat man, there," pointing in the direction of Custis.

“We don’t speak about Wayne Rooney, you have criticised him. I don’t - you!" he said.

 

And he has since hit back at United boss, calling his comments 'pathetic' and questioning his tenure as United boss.

“The comment was crass and pathetic but it’s a shame he’s not so astute when he’s looking at his own failings at Manchester United," he told talkSPORT.

"The way they play under him has probably been the worst Manchester United have been in 35 years.

 

“Win, lose or draw you come away from a United match at the moment in the same manner.

“They [Woodward and the Glazers] have given this manager everything he wants and bowed to his every whim.

“In many ways, Ed Woodward has been the perfect boss for a manager - he has spent £250m and rising. What has he done with that money?

“I don’t think he’s wasted it on poor players. He’s bought good players, he’s just made them poor.”
