Swansea City boss Garry Monk has defended the tactics of Manchester United rival Louis van Gaal.
Monk is well up on the long ball controversy involving Van Gaal and West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce.
"I watched that game and I think the long balls I saw were in the last five minutes, which quite rightly they used to their strength with Fellaini in a forward position," Monk said.
"There's no problem with that whatsoever. It actually shows good strength that they can be adaptable.
"I understand what was said but in this game nowadays you have to be adaptable.
"You can't just have one set way of playing and I think Manchester United have done that well this season.
"They've got fantastic players and play fantastic football, they can mix it up and that's what a good team can do.
"They can adapt their style for any given moment or period of the game and that was the case against West Ham."
