Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink isn't surprised by Louis van Gaal's battle with Manchester United fans.

Hiddink squares up to old foe Van Gaal today in a game which was once sprinkled in start-dust.

Now both clubs are fighting hard to restore themselves to the glory days. He said: “There's a culture of English football. People like the pace.

"If managers want to break that down, the pubic and everyone doesn't accept that.''
