Louis van Gaal has revealed Daniel Levy left his house in the back of a car boot to avoid a local journalist after the pair held talks about the Tottenham job in 2014.
Levy made the trip to Van Gaal's house in Noordwijk to try and persuade the Dutchman to replace Tim Sherwood shortly after firing him in May 2014.
Sherwood had signed an 18-month deal in December 2018 but Levy exercised a break clause after just five months and then made an approach for Van Gaal.
'Daniel Levy went to my house here in Noordwijk and left in the trunk, because Jack van Gelder [a local journalist] was outside', said Van Gaal.
