Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has slammed the timing of the transfer windows.
Van Gaal has slammed the finish dates of the summer transfer window, admitting he attempted to change it many times. Manchester United believes the September 1 transfer window, which will be three weeks into the 2015/16 season, should be moved.
"That's ridiculous in my opinion," he said. "I have strived many times to change the transfer period.
"It has to be finished before you prepare your team for the season. Last summer we had the World Cup and then a lot of players came late in.
"We had a lot of purchase at the last month so we have to prepare our team in the Premier League and that costs us a lot of points. Now I hope we shall finish our business much earlier."
