Van Gaal to have words with Mourinho over Shaw jibe

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Louis van Gaal says he will speak to Jose Mourinho privately after the Portuguese claimed signing Luke Shaw would have “killed” Chelsea. The Red Devils paid €34 million to acquire the 19-year-old left-back from Southampton, agreeing to pay him a salary of €200,000-per-week, while the Blues pulled out of any prospective deal after learning of the teenager's demands. Mourinho instead signed Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid in a €20m deal and took a swipe at United on Friday, telling reporters: "To pay a 19-year-old boy what we were being asked for, for Luke Shaw, we are dead. "We would have killed our stability with financial fair play, and killed the stability in our dressing room." Van Gaal, however, refused to bite back in public, instead revealing that he will speak with the Chelsea boss in private. “I don't have to answer, I don't think I have to discuss things with the media. Its better to discuss it with Jose,” he told reporters in the build-up to United's pre-season clash with Roma.
