Van Gaal orders evening training at Man Utd

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal ordered an evening training session for his players all the way from Brazil.

The Daily Mail says while Van Gaal was preparing for Holland's World Cup semi-final against Argentina in Sao Paulo, the United squad have been given the choice between going home to rest for three hours after training on Tuesday afternoon or sleeping at Carrington before being put through a second workout starting at 5.30pm.

While double sessions are not uncommon in pre-season, training in the evening is unusual and a further indication that Van Gaal is ready to get tough to revive United's fortunes.
