LONDON. — Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has “a lot of similarities” to former manager ir Alex Ferguson, according to Ryan Giggs. Van Gaal replaced David Moyes as manager in the summer, a year after Sir Alex’s 26-year stay at the club ended. And Giggs (40), who is now assistant manager at the club under Van Gaal, said the Dutchman’s “intensity and preparation” reminded him of Ferguson.

“He demands that in every training session,” Giggs told BBC Radio 5 live.

“He wants the same intensity as if it was a game.

“There are a lot of similarities to Sir Alex. He sets standards and if you drop below them he is not happy.” — BBC Sport.
