The Dutchman is not keen to take his side to play a great number of games on both coasts of America again as he did in the build-up to this season, with long flights and too many fixtures seemingly a bit much for his players – as judged by their stuttering start to this season.
Van Gaal believes the difficult schedule may have affected his side’s ability to find consistency in the Premier League and put in a stronger title challenge, and doesn’t want to make the same mistakes next season.
