Brash. Arrogant. Rude. Doesn’t get English football. Words to describe Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal following the 0-0 draw with Cambridge United in the FA Cup last month.

The reason? Van Gaal blamed the pitch and the referee for United’s poor performance and dismissed questions after about the way the team were set-up.

Rude. Childish. Cocky. Why is he there? Questions and comments made to NFL superstar Marshawn Lynch prior to the Seattle Seahawks’ defeat to the New England Patriots.
