‘This is the first match that we have dominated the game from the first minute until the last, in a way that I like,’ said Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal after his side dominated Hull City 3-nil today.
Here is the Louis van Gaal video, from YouTube and some selected quotes from his post match interview:
‘We knew in advance that they come with five defenders and a full midfield. We trained to play the ball quick and we did it, but also we didn’t give the ball way unnecessarily. That was an improvement from the Arsenal game last time.’
Louis van Gaal said he is “very happy” for Robin van Persie after he scored a “beautiful” and “much needed” goal (watch it here). Indeed it was very much needed as we’ve chronicled here. United dominated the game with goals from Chris Smalling (see it here), Wayne Rooney (see his goal here) and van Persie securing a comfortable win for the hosts.
