The Dutchman proved himself a master of the anecdote at Man Utd's awards dinner on Monday night with a rambling monologue fuelled by charisma (and perhaps a little Dutch courage).

Rambling, rousing, incoherent and occasionally inspirational, here are some of Van Gaal's best lines, along with our favourite reactions online.

"Hello. Hello. Hey. Pay attention to the manager."

"I am also a human being..."

"How is it possible that the fans are supporting me?"

"I have said to you that you are the best fans of the world but I was tonight a little bit disappointed. And I shall say why. I have seen a lady who plays the saxophone fantastically. Give her a big applause!"
