'On the first day, he did not speak to me. On the second day, he said, "You can leave": Rafael savages Louis van Gaal as 'one of the WORST people' he worked with as former Manchester United full-back reveals 's***' dressing room culture under the Dutchman

Rafael da Silva insists Louis van Gaal is 'one of the worst' managers he has ever worked under as the former Manchester United full-back opened up on the 's***' tenure of the Dutchman.

Van Gaal was brought in by United as successor to David Moyes but Rafael, who feels no ill-will towards Moyes, was soon to learn he had no future under the Dutchman - and he was even shunned on the first day of training by Van Gaal.

'I talk bad about some people, like Van Gaal. I don't like Van Gaal,' Rafael told the Athletic.
