Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was delighted with two-goal Ander Herrera after victory over Aston Villa.

Van Gaal was so happy with Herrera's first that he planted a kiss on the young midfielder's head in the dressing room at half-time.

"Ander has a very good kicking technique and he should only be more composed," Van Gaal told MUTV.

"I said to him 'you have to control the ball before you shoot'.

"I said that to him again in yesterday's training session, and then I kissed him at half-time because he had controlled the ball for the first time in his life and then he shot!

"But then I came after the second half to him and he said 'without control I can do it also!"'
