Man Utd's van Gaal: My assistant Giggs is 'marvellous'

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has hailed his assistant Ryan Giggs for the way he goes about his work.

The United legend became the Dutchman's number two in the summer following his short spell as interim boss after David Moyes was sacked towards the end of last season.

In the lead-up to this weekend's meeting with Liverpool, van Gaal spoke of how Giggs helped prepare the squad for the clash with their arch rivals and how his in-depth analysis was full of quality information.

"I have an assistant manager in Ryan Giggs, and he presented an analysis of Liverpool and he did it in a marvellous way, so I'm very pleased," van Gaal said.

"I will not tell you (what it included) but I can assure you that it was marvellous."
