Robben praise for Man Utd boss Van Gaal

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has praised Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

Robben didn't always get along with the Dutchman at Bayern, but insists he was good for his career.

"The best and most important step of my career was when I moved here - and Louis van Gaal brought me from Madrid to Bayern," he told the Guardian.

"It was the best move of my career and it's thanks to him. In the first year we reached the Champions League final [in 2010], which was a big surprise, and won the double in Germany. Van Gaal made me an important member of the team and fortunately I delivered."
