Van Gaal determined to SMASH Man Utd cliques

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is determined to smash any cliques inside the locker room. The Daily Mail says Van Gaal hopes to create greater unity within the squad by ordering his players to eat together every day after training.

It is now compulsory for the United stars to dine with the club's youth players and coaching staff at Carrington at 1pm.

The stricter guidelines came into effect this week before Van Gaal's much-anticipated arrival at the training ground on Wednesday morning.

There were concerns that cliques had developed last season in the wake of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, and Van Gaal is determined that all his players are pulling in the same direction.
