Van Gaal set to make Old Trafford bow on August 12
LOUIS van Gaal will get his first taste of Old Trafford as Manchester United boss when the English side faces Spain’s Valencia in a pre-season friendly on August 12, the club announced.
The game, with Ryan Giggs in the dugout for the first time as assistant manager, is also likely to see new signings Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw play in front of the Old Trafford crowd for the first time. Before that, United will play four matches in the United States.
Giggs said he had been in contact with van Gaal even during the World Cup. “I flew out and spent a couple of hours with him. We went through players who were at the club — ones who may be going, ones who may be coming in,” said Giggs.
