Louis van Gaal may be thousands of miles away in Brazil, but the Dutchman’s uncompromising approach is already being felt at Manchester United after the players were ordered to take part in an evening session on their second day of pre-season training. The United squad have been given the choice between going home to rest for three hours after training on Tuesday afternoon or sleeping at Carrington before being put through a second workout starting at 5.30pm. While double sessions are not uncommon in pre-season, training in the evening is unusual and a further indication that Van Gaal is ready to get tough to revive United’s fortunes. Van Gaal also wants England’s World Cup contingent to be on the team’s flight to California next week as United. New assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg was at Carrington on Monday for what was officially the first day of pre-season. First-team returnees included new signing Ander Herrera, Jonny Evans, Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, Tom Cleverley, Rafael, Anderson and Bebe. [Source: Daily Mail, Mirror]
