Van Gaal Makes It Compulsory For Manchester United Players To Speak English by demand1982: 12:15pm On Jul 26, 2014
Manchester United coach Louis Van Gaal is already ringing changes at his new club mandating the players to only communicate in English Language while on the pitch.
Spanish star Juan Mata revealed that the
Dutchman said they must all speak English while playing.
"We speak in English," Mata told BBC Sport.
"The manager says we have to speak in
English."
After their 7-0 routing of LA Galaxy in one
of their pre-season game in the United States,Van Gaal revealed that they will have
to be playing a 3-5-2 formation that
involves the use of wing-backs.
And Mata admitted that they are adapting
to the new changes from the new coach.
"The truth is we are trying to play with a new system.
I don't know how much time it takes - maybe one month or two but the most important thing is to believe in what we do.
"For me personally if I play behind the two
strikers it's a good position.
I can look for the ball. I feel comfortable in this role.
"This system can be very dangerous. But
you have to communicate and co- ordinate."

in case u guys don't know unity is the first thing that wins a title that will promote unity in the team instead of degea telling mata to pass to him in spanish language because they are both spanish and kagawa who is in the middle looks confused instead of running forward to get the ball. now kagawa will blame it on the language barrier
