Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says the away dressing rooms at Premier League stadiums are too small.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has admitted that he is unimpressed by the facilities at Premier League football stadiums.

The Dutchman claims that the away dressing rooms at grounds around the country are too small, and revealed that he has been forced to deliver team talks from the toilet due to their confined space.

"The accommodation for the players to dress themselves, to change into their club shirts, are in most stadiums not so good," Van Gaal told MUTV.

"And also the place for the manager, a lot of times I am sitting on the toilet. But not on the toilet to make something, but because there is no other place. That was, for me, surprising."

Van Gaal went on to reflect on the positive aspects of his first season in the English game, citing the passion of Premier League supporters as a highlight.

"I think it's fantastic to be here in England. They live football, football is living, and living is football. That is not so in Germany. In Spain a little bit more but here it's unbelievable. It's fantastic to see," he added.

Van Gaal guided United to a spot in next season's Champions League during his first term at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils finishing in fourth place in the table.
