Former Manchester City fitness coach Raymond Verheijen has blamed Louis van Gaal for Luke Shaw's hamstring injury at Manchester United. The £27 million fullback will miss the first month of the season.
Verheijen tweeted:
The Luke Shaw case is the climax of Manchester United's predictable pre-season injury crisis due to 'too much training too soon'.

LVG is tactically superior to most other coaches but planning & periodisation is not his strongest point: double sessions & muscles injuries

But who is gonna tell a top coach that he has to raise his bar in a certain area? The 'yes-men' in his coaching staff? Journalists? Who...?
