Louis van Gaal blasts Premier League over Manchester United’s clash with Tottenham

0


Louis Van Gaal has hit out at the Premier League’s Christmas fixture schedule.
Manchester United travel to Tottenham tomorrow (12pm) less than 48 hours after beating Newcastle 3-1.
Two goals from Wayne Rooney and a header from Robin van Persie ensured three points were secured at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
United are now unbeaten in eight games but Van Gaal was not happy about their lack of preparation time before heading to White Hart Lane.
“With FIFA and UEFA, it’s forbidden to play within 48 hours. In England, it’s okay,” he said.
“I cannot prepare my team like I have to prepare. We have unit meetings, and team meetings, we have training 11 against 11, and assimilating opponents. We cannot do that now.”
United are 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea and seven off second-place Manchester City.
