Louis van Gaal loving English life

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that he is enjoying life in England.

The Dutchman was in a relaxed mood during his press conference on Tuesday and took the time to discuss matters away from football.

"English life is fantastic because I have met only friendly people on the streets and in the restaurants where I come," he told reporters.

"The food is fantastic because when I came to England everybody said the food is not good, but [it is] fantastic.

"Also, the wine list is fantastic. I have very nice neighbours; they are all older than me but very nice. I live in a surrounding environment [that is] fantastic."

Van Gaal's side travel to Stoke City in the Premier League on New Year's Day.
