Louis van Gaal: Why I’m happy I axed Robin van Persie, Angel Di Maria and Javier Hernandez

 In the summer, Van Gaal dramatically wielded his axe, getting rid of several first-team names.

The likes of Robin van Persie, Angel Di Maria, Javier Hernandez, Nani and Jonny Evans were all shown the Old Trafford door before the start of the current season.

Van Gaal says it has always been his philosophy to promote youth and he does not regret his drastic actions in the summer.
He said: "I have a philosophy, for example, that I don't want a great or wide squads, because then you cannot give youngsters a chance.
“Now you see a lot of youngsters who can show their quality and you can also win, but it's a big risk.
"Manchester United wants to give youngsters a chance and it's also in the culture of Manchester United, so we are doing that but we have a lot of bad luck this year.
