Manchester United's Louis van Gaal switches on Old Trafford Christmas lights

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal switches on the Old Trafford Christmas tree lights.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has taken some time out of his match preparations to switch on the Old Trafford Christmas lights.

The 63-year-old, who was appointed as boss in May, has had a difficult start to his United career as the team currently sit 13 points behind leaders Chelsea in the Premier League table.

Earlier this week, Van Gaal put football matters aside to join staff and children from the Stretford High School at Old Trafford to switch on the Christmas tree lights.

United, who have won their last two league fixtures, will take on Hull City at Old Trafford tomorrow.
