Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says life in England is "fantastic".

After almost six months in the job, Van Gaal is now settled in Manchester.

"English life is fantastic," the Dutchman said with a smile. "I have met only friendly people on the streets and in the restaurants where I go.

"I have very nice neighbours; they are all older than me but very nice. I live in a surrounding environment [that is] fantastic."
