Louis van Gaal has weighed up his first season in English football, looking at the positives and the negatives of the Premier League.

He is impressed with the passion the fans have for football but is less impressed with the conditions in the away dressing rooms.

I can say a positive thing and I can say a negative thing. Let’s start with the negative thing. The accommodation for the players to dress themselves, to change into their club shirts, are in most stadiums not so good. And also the place for the manager, a lot of times I am sitting on the toilet! But not on the toilet to make something, but because there is no other place. That was, for me, surprising. But the way football is lived here in the minds of the people is unbelievable, and it is what I expected. I think it’s fantastic to be here in England. They live football, football is living, and living is football. That is not [the case] in Germany, in Spain a little bit more but here it’s unbelievable. It’s fantastic to see.
