June 8th, June today, former Manchester United coach Van Gaal was interviewed by Sky Sports, again emphasizing that "Manchester United is a business club, not a football club."

Van Gaal said: "They are a business club, not a football club. I have said this a long time ago. The problem always exists. When the coach has no right to decide on signings, everything becomes extremely difficult."

When asked whether the coach should be given more transfer voice, the old coach said: "I think this is the right way, because only in this way can you fire him legitimately when the coach cannot hand over the results, but if someone else is responsible for the signing, the problem is complicated. You must respect the coach's professional judgment and material selection vision. After all, he is the one who is responsible for training these players in the end."

Van Gaal also specifically pointed out that Manchester United should imitate Liverpool's transfer strategy. "Slott can directly tell the technical director that he must sign this player. This model is worth paying attention to."
