New
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal hopes to create greater unity
within the squad by ordering his players to eat together every day after
training.
It
is now compulsory for the United stars to dine with the club’s youth
players and coaching staff at Carrington at 1pm. The stricter guidelines
came into effect this week before Van Gaal’s much-anticipated arrival
at the training ground on Wednesday morning.
The
62-year-old Dutchman spoke at the weekend about his plans to foster the
kind of togetherness in the United squad that helped him take Holland
to third place at the World Cup in Brazil.
‘I hope the group in Manchester will become like this one,’ he said.
There
were concerns that cliques had developed last season in the wake of Sir
Alex Ferguson’s retirement, and Van Gaal is determined that all his
players are pulling in the same direction.
He
knows that a better team spirit in the current squad will be crucial.
