Fellaini: 'Van Gaal is stricter than Mourinho'

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has revealed that there are differences in the styles of management of Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal.

After two years in charge, Van Gaal left Old Trafford during the summer, but while insisting that Mourinho is the right manager for the Premier League club, Fellaini has claimed that Van Gaal was stricter than his replacement.

The 29-year-old told Soccer AM's Tubes: "Louis van Gaal is stricter. Mourinho is strict, but not like Van Gaal.

"It is funnier with Mourinho, the training changes all the time. It is not a routine. Van Gaal had his philosophy and he was strict but he was very different.

"I think the Mourinho is the right manager. He has a lot of experience and he knows what he can do but you have to give him time as well so I'm sure the victories will come."

United currently sit in sixth position in the league table.
