Ander Herrera has given an insight into the personality and coaching philosophy of Van Gaal.
The Dutchman has been under intense criticism as he appears to United fans as an arrogant, cocky guy who doesn't give a damn.
Herrera seem to know that's the fans impression of Van Gaal, but he says he is not what people think he is.
"I think from the outside you have an image of a very tough… what’s the word?” He told The Telegraph
"He has like a shell? But in reality you can go to him, explain your feelings.
"He’s emotional and he understands. He has coached some very big teams and so sometimes you have to show that things do not hurt you.
“As a manager he is attacking – he wants to win with the ball."
Yea, Van Gaal may be an attacking manager, but his United team this season hasn't been an attacking side.
United scored only 49 league goals this season, which is one of the lowest recorded by the club in recent times.
It remains to be seen if he would be sacked at the end if the season, with United still having a date with Crystal Palace in the FA Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.
