Manchester United's players have reportedly begun calling manager Louis van Gaal 'Daisy' in a dig about his slow driving.

The Dutchman's nickname, which comes from the film Driving Miss Daisy, is believed to be in reference to his over-cautiousness behind the wheel.

According to The Sun, the players thought up the nickname because Van Gaal opts for a slow driving pace as he is worried about encountering ditches and pot holes around Carrington.

On the pitch, United are fourth in the Premier League table after 12 games.
