It's no secret when Van Gaal did not like to see his team too much to move the city and carry out many off-field activities related to the interests of sponsors.
With so many cities to be visited and games that have acted, Van Gaal felt the players do not get sufficient rest period. Last year, United had to go to Los Angeles, Denver, Washington DC, Detroit, and Miami to carry out the International Champions Cup pre-season tournament.
When a stop in Los Angeles, Van Gaal did not like that too much distance between the hotel where the team stayed with their own training ground lease. Distances that make players not getting enough rest between training sessions in the morning and afternoon session. Impact, United had to book another room in the hotel is not far from the gym.
Telegraph calls, schedule pre-season tour this year really well thought out so that the manager of Dutch origin is satisfied. In addition to requesting a schedule that is not too dense, Van Gaal also reportedly asked his team settled in the city that is not too humid during pre-season tour.
