Louis Van Gaal has been far more entertaining during press conferences than his players have been on the field.  He often mixes up players’ names, once called a journalist "fat" and asked his players to be "horny".

Now, he's trumped himself. Van Gaal on Sunday pulled a reporter’s hair after being asked a question about Marouane Fellaini reportedly elbowing Robert Huth. Speaking during the post-match interview, he said: “When you see what Huth is doing to Fellaini, that’s a penalty.”

After that, he turned on the reporter. “Shall I grab you by your hair? What is your reaction when I grab your hair? Your hair is shorter than Fellaini but, when I do that, what are you doing then? It’s a reaction. Every human being who is grabbed by the hair, only with sex masochism, then it is allowed but not in other situations. They did it. They did it several times I think. Huth was the guy who grabbed the hair of Fellaini. I think the reaction of Fellaini is like a human being.”

After the match Van Gaal also had an exchange with Claudio Raineri where the Leicester manager told Van Gaal he was doing a fantastic job, and Van Gaal agreed! 

Claudio Ranieri's side failed to get the victory that would have got them the  silverware but they will be crowned champions on Monday if second-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who trail them by eight points, fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they have not won since 1990. Hopes of a Leicester triumph on Sunday suffered an early setback when striker Anthony Martial put United ahead with a neat right-foot finish from Antonio Valencia's eighth-minute cross. The goal galvanised Leicester, who equalised nine minutes later when captain Wes Morgan headed home a Danny Drinkwater free kick.

The visitors thought they deserved a penalty when Riyad Mahrez clashed with Marcos Rojo in the United area, but without the suspended Jamie Vardy they lacked their usual threat on the break. United could have grabbed a late winner but Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel was quick off his line to foil the advancing Memphis Depay.
