Man Utd boss Van Gaal ready for Tottenham jeers today

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal expects jeers from Tottenham fans today.

The Dutchman looked all set to take over the North London job after signing off for his national team at the World Cup finals last summer.

Instead he jumped at the chance manage Manchester United and Spurs turned instead to Southampton's Argentine head coach, Mauricio Pochettino.

"I have managed that with a lot of clubs," he said. "I cannot change that. I don't have any influence on that so I don't make any trouble with them.

"That is history. We have to speak about what is happening now. Now it is Pochettino, the new manager, and I am the new manager of Manchester United. You move on."
