van Gaal is the type of manager who improves
individual players
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has taken the time
to praise Louis van Gaal and has hailed the Dutchman's
influence on his personal development.
Smalling has not missed a single minute of Premier League
action this campaign and credits Van Gaal with helping him
cement his spot in the United side.
"I think Van Gaal is a manager who improves a lot of players,"
Smalling told the official United website.
"He has helped me a lot. He is very honest about what your
good points are and what you can improve on.
"That is very refreshing to hear. When he first joined the club he
said that after six to eight months of working, when we know
what he wants, then we will improve as a team.
"We have obviously improved on the start of last season and, as
a player, I definitely feel that I have improved as well.
"It has been nice to get a consistent run and I am enjoying my
football at the minute. I would go with a seven out of 10 so far.
"There is definitely more to come. I am hoping that I can keep
kicking on and improving each day, keep clocking up the games
and contributing to the team."
