I spoke with Van Gaal, and he said that I only had a one per cent chance of playing in my position, so I headed to Bayer.
Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.
Louis van Gaal is one of the most incredible coaches who's done a fantastic job in clubs all over Europe.
Van Gaal is how you see him in the press conferences; he's like that with us, too. He's honest and straightforward. He believes in his style of training and way of preparing for games.
The best and most important step of my career was when I moved here - and Louis van Gaal brought me from Madrid to Bayern. It was the best move of my career, and it's thanks to him.
Louis van Gaal has nothing more to learn.
I'm grateful to Van Gaal: he brought me to United and I played 71 games so I wouldn't say a bad word.
Van Gaal is a teacher, pays attention to everything you do, but Hiddink is more linked to the players. He gives more freedom than Van Gaal, but I worked with both of them pretty well.
I was sad when Van Gaal left the national team, but I was also sad when Hiddink left.
