Liverpool boss Rodgers keen to test himself against Man Utd's Van Gaal

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to facing new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.

Van Gaal's appointment was announced yesterday.

He told talkSPORT: "First of all, it was really sad that David Moyes didn't get the opportunity. Obviously with David gone, they were looking to appoint someone with experience and certainly Van Gaal is someone I have studied and looked at for many years.

"He has had great success and he has a way and a vision of how he wants the game to be played. He works with young players. Certainly his profile fits a club of Manchester United's history. As a young manager, I'm really looking forward to working against another great coach in the world game."
