Louis van Gaal calls reporter "fat"

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has continued his war of words with the media, this time branding a reporter "fat".

The Dutchman grew frustrated with questions about captain Wayne Rooney during a press conference after Tuesday night's 3-3 draw at Newcastle United.

Getting up to leave, he told the audience: "We don't speak anymore about Rooney. You have criticised him. I don't."

He then turned his attentions to one journalist in particular, adding: "You too, fat man."
