Louis van Gaal is a winning coach and a special person - Dirk Kuyt

Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt describes new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal as a "winner" and a "special person", while Clarence Seedorf calls him a "great coach".

Van Gaal has signed a three-year contract and will take charge at Old Trafford after leading the Netherlands at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Kuyt is part of van Gaal's Dutch side preparing for the World Cup, while Seedorf played under van Gaal at Ajax when they lifted the Champions League trophy in 1995 without losing a single game.
