Man Utd boss Van Gaal dumps club creche

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has dumped the club's creche.

The play area where United's stars used to leave their kids on match days while they socialised with their wives and girlfriends in the players' lounge next door has been converted into a medical room on the instruction of United's new manager.

A club source told The Sun: "Scrapping the historic players' room and creche has created a bit of a stir. But Van Gaal was adamant with what he wanted and everyone has had to fall in line.

"The players' lounge is now a warm-up area and team members are invited into a different part of the stadium to spend time with their families.

"The creche is gone and has not been moved elsewhere."
