Manchester United winger Ashley Young has hailed the impact that Louis van Gaal has had on his career.
The 29-year-old's future at the Red Devils looked in doubt at the start of the campaign after he struggled under the tenure of David Moyes.
However, Young had a resurgence under the Dutchman and began to find his best form towards the end of the season, leading to suggestions for him to be recalled into the England squad, only for injury to blight his claim.
Young told the club's official website: "Working with Louis van Gaal has been a great experience. From pre-season the manager came in and talked about his philosophy and what he wanted to get out of it, the little details in training and just bringing the club on in the way he saw it and how he wanted things to go, it's been fantastic.
"The manager has called upon me whether it's been left wing-back, left wing or left-back and I've gone out there and given 110% as I always do and I've enjoyed the season.
"As I say, as a footballer you want to be playing regularly and I've been able to do that this season. I've enjoyed it, I've really enjoyed playing football again. I've kicked on and I've enjoyed every minute of it."
Young made 29 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring two goals.
