Louis van Gaal's hilarious nickname revealed as Manchester United stars poke fun at boss
The Dutchman is now known as "Daisy" around their Carrington training ground as part of a running joke about his slow driving.
United's players gave him he nickname in reference to the film Driving Miss Daisy.
According to The Sun, it came about because Van Gaal is so scared of driving into ditches and pot holes around Carrington, he drives at a snail's pace.
Players have reportedly learned to avoid being stuck behind him, as they know their journey could take significantly longer.
He said: “As a manager I am well aware that it is much better to produce players from your own youth education, from your own culture, than to buy players from another culture or country or something like that.
“And I have provided a lot of examples in my managerial career of that. It is not a surprise for my board because they know.”
