Holland boss Louis van Gaal is still affected by his Manchester United sacking, former Barcelona and Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit has revealed.

The 71-year-old was sacked by United in 2016 after just two seasons in charge, despite winning the FA Cup by beating Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium, just 24 hours before.

Van Gaal, who is currently in his third stint as Holland boss having been reappointed last year out of retirement, is set to lead them during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Dutch legend Gullit believes the experienced manager uses his failure at United to have a different outlook on his tactics - despite being so successful with Holland in the past.
