During the pre-match press conference, young reporter Papa Mahmoud Gueye got to ask a question that moved the hard Dutchman.

Gueye revealed he had no question for the former Barcelona and Ajax manager.

Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to tell the 71-year-old tactician he has been a big fan of his since the age of three.

Gueye told Van Gaal: “I’m a young journalist, who has just started.

“I don’t have any question for you, it’s just the opportunity to tell you how I’m a fan of you since [I was] three years old.”;

Van Gaal was absolutely flattered by Gueye’s beautiful words ahead of a challenging clash that could seal a place in the Last 16 for the Netherlands.

The ex-Bayern Munich boss was so moved that he told him he was going to give him a “big hug”; at the end of the press conference.

Van Gaal responded: “I want to give you a big hug.

“Because I like that you say this and I mean that seriously. That does not happen often.

“So we’ll give each other a big hug afterwards.”;

Van Gaal kept his word as he met Gueye at the end of the press conference and gave him a big hug while the rest of the press in attendance gave them a huge applause.

The reporter then shared a selfie video of him and the Dutch head coach in which he used a famous phrase from his time at United.

Gueye said: “Louis van Gaal’s army.”; And Van Gaal responded: “You are in my army.”;
