Manchester United release Louis van Gaal pictures

Manchester United have released the first pictures of Louis van Gaal as the club's new manager.

The Dutchman was confirmed as David Moyes's successor back in May, but he only arrived in Manchester today due to his commitments with the Dutch national side at the World Cup.

He is now at the club's Carrington training base, where he has met the players and coaching staff, as well as chief executive Ed Woodward.
