Louis van Gaal has criticised the way Manchester United is run and expressed his surprise at the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as permanent manager.
Van Gaal, 67, was sacked as United manager just over three years ago, only days after he led the Red Devils to victory in the FA Cup final.
That was the high point of his two-year tenure, in which United finished fourth and then fifth in the Premier League.
Per Jamie Jackson of the Guardian, Van Gaal has now said he was surprised by how the club was run and recommended how things could change in order to prompt improvement:
"I think you have to change the structure in the organisation of Manchester United because now I think the balance between the football department and commercial department is not right and even slopes over to the commercial.
