Here is Manchester United Manager Louis van Gaal giving his post match interview for television. United won at Southampton 3-2 today to move into second place in the Premier League table with 13 points. Only Manchester City with 15 points are ahead of the Red Devils currently.
In the YouTube embedded below, Van Gaal gives his thoughts on the spirit of the team, David de Gea’s performance, and keeping Anthony Martial grounded. Van Gaal also gives a very interesting, detailed answer about the philosophy, and the passes that preceded the second goal.
The Dutchman also raved about the team’s spirit being incredibly high right now. That’s extremely important; given how emotionally devastating the loss to PSV Eindhoven was on Tuesday (with the loss of Luke Shaw to injury that night)
Van Gaal says Anthony Martial is a “special” player after his brace helped his side to an important triumph over Southampton and three points at St Mary’s today.
