A Quote by Louis van Gaal

I thought always Manchester United can buy every player because they have a lot of power. — © Louis van Gaal
I thought always Manchester United can buy every player because they have a lot of power.
I have felt part of this club when I have travelled all around the world and been recognised as a Manchester United player. And when you're a Manchester United player you will forever be a Manchester United player.
I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.
To be a Manchester United player, it requires a certain level of performance, mentality, and you have got to be proud to be a Manchester United player.
I think any player who joins Manchester United wants to win everything; I want to win every competition that Manchester United compete in.
I always said to the directors that the minute a player becomes more powerful than the manager of Manchester United, it's not Manchester United. You have lost control of the whole club. So I always made sure that I was in control. They always knew who the manager was.
I don't want to compare but when you're a Manchester United player, you're a Manchester United player for life.
For me, Paul Scholes is on the same level as Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo, not Cristiano. I always thought he was a great player but after I played alongside him I realised he was Manchester United's greatest player of all time. He did his talking on the pitch which I respected most.
I always say the biggest opponent for Manchester United is Manchester United. Every year I play for this club, I will say the same.
Manchester is obviously is a huge footballing city with Manchester City and Manchester United there - and I really like this accent because my agent is also from Manchester and my girlfriend's family is from Manchester.
A lot of them want to come and play for Manchester United. They want to play because Alex has a record of giving youth a chance and we have the history and heritage of Manchester United.
Of course I miss playing for Manchester United. I played there for six years and that’s a long time. I am still interested in watching Manchester United and, you never know, maybe in the future I could return to play there. It’s always possible. I want to fulfil my contract here but, in the future, only God knows. I will not say I am not happy here at Real Madrid. I am really happy and everyone knows this is my club but, of course, I miss Manchester United, the boss, the players, because I left family there.
At United, there are great traditions, which you can't buy in one or two years. They are created by victories. You need to prove again and again that you are better than the others. Manchester United have always done this, and are still doing it, so they are the best.
I'm a player coming into Manchester United, I've got to adapt like every other, no matter how old I am.
Yes, I thought I was joining Manchester United, I was misled by all involved. I wasnt aware of another Manchester team
Even though I'm in the changing room and I know I am, you still have to pinch yourself every night that you can say you're a Manchester United player.
I always thought I'd be playing; now I watch Manchester United every weekend on Sky Sports and they're using 'Found What I've Been Looking For' as a theme song - and I'm sitting at a pub and it comes on and I'm like, 'Oh yeah, mad.'
