Former AZ Alkmaar striker Kenneth Perez is surprised by the spending of Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.
Perez played for Van Gaal at AZ.
"I'm really surprised about the players he has bought, the money he has spent, the positions they are in," Perez told the Mail on Sunday. "Maybe because of the good results in pre-season he thought United were better than they are. For me, from the outside, it looks like he's not the only one deciding who is coming in.
'I understand Angel di Maria because Van Gaal is looking at a type and he needs a player like Arjen Robben, who can do something on his own, carry the ball 50 metres passing people. He couldn't get Robben, so I guess Di Maria was second best. But renting Falcao for that kind of money when you have Van Persie, Rooney and you had Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck, is a big surprise."
