Man Utd boss Van Gaal knows little about Hull's Bruce

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal admits he knows little about Hull City counterpart Steve Bruce.

Former United skipper Bruce returns to Old Trafford with Hull on Saturday to take charge of his 700th Premier League game as a manager. At the age of 63, Van Gaal knows he is unlikely to reach the same milestone.

"It says that he is a very good manager I think, but I don't know, I cannot judge him," he said. "When you have 700 Premier League matches, I don't think I will reach that amount.

"I have seen him playing for Manchester United. He was a very firm and also a leader. Mostly players who are leaders become managers."
