Van Gaal berates 'fat man' in Man Utd press conference

Louis van Gaal is no stranger to making controversial remarks in his press conferences but even he might admit that he overstepped the mark by calling a journalist "fat man" following Tuesday's draw at Newcastle.

The Dutchman responded in typically prickly fashion to the media's criticism of Wayne Rooney, who returned to something like his best form against Steve McClaren's side with two goals and an assist.

"You have criticised him, I don't," Van Gaal said before walking away, pointing to a journalist and adding "You too. Fat man. There."
