'He liked football organised by position': Ander Herrera says PSG boss Thomas Tuchel has same style as his former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal

Paris Saint-Germain star Ander Herrera has drawn comparisons between Thomas Tuchel and his former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, revealing that the pair create teams 'organised by position'.

Herrera featured under van Gaal at Old Trafford for two years, but was critical of the veteran Dutchman's tenure after struggling to become a key performer.

And after opting to move to the French capital in 2018 after his contract expired, Herrera believes that both Tuchel and van Gaal operate with a similar pragmatic style of play.

Tuchel favours a similar style to van Gaal's from his Manchester United tenure, says Herrera

The Spaniard became van Gaal's first signing in the summer of 2014, committing to a four-year deal, but made 70 appearances across all competitions during the 68-year-old's reign and failed to establish himself as a regular starter.
