Chelsea, Man Utd target Ribery admits Van Gaal issues

Chelsea and Real Madrid have been alerted to Franck Ribery's admission he doesn't get along with Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal. Chelsea and champions Manchester United were all strongly linked with Ribery, and Real Madrid were reportedly considering making a late bid for the player.

Ribery has not started a club game this season as he bids to regain full fitness, and has reportedly not seen eye to eye with Van Gaal, who took over this summer.

"It is important that you have faith in the coach, but with him (Van Gaal) it is complicated," he said in L'Equipe.

"This is the first time that my contact with a coach is not positive. There's not much feeling between us."
