Louis van Gaal being criticised for his style at Manchester United is nothing new - it cost him his job at Bayern Munich but won him the Champions League at Ajax

Louis van Gaal is facing widespread criticism for the style of Manchester United's football at the moment. 

United, the critics say, are too rigid, too dull and nowhere near the swashbuckling excitement of the great United teams of years gone by.

The bad news for United supporters is that this is not the first time their manager has failed to entertain at a club.

Justin Bieber and his crew are under fire from an 18-year-old Australian model who claims she was drugged while hanging out with the singer, his crew, and other models at a recording studio.

Bailey Scarlett claims that she made herself a drink of vodka and lemonade, and then took a shot of alcohol with Bieber.

TARIBO WEST, FOOTBALLER TURNED PASTOR AND REVEALS: I USED JUJU IN MY CAREER TO WIN TROPHIES AND A LOT OF MATCHES

 He no longer wears the flashy and oftentimes crazy hairstyles that stood him out in the pack.

Baldness has set in and he is now clean-shaven. He is no longer “fearfully made” as he was once described by a comedian, because of his looks.

In his footballing days, Taribo was truly fearsome, an attacker’s nightmare. He had the crunchy tackles and would kick you on and off the ball, and force you into intimidation with his looks, gestures and power.

Today, he is a far cry from that personality. What you have now is the born again Taribo West; the pastor and founder of Shelter in The Storm Miracle Ministries of All Nations.

“I spend most of my time at hommeditating. All I want to do is to keep spreading the gospel. In my own little way, I have been into evangelisation visiting places like Ughelli and within the Orile community, Ajegunle and so on. God has been kind during these visits to preach the gospel to people who are yet to receive Christ. We believe He will take us globally very soon,” Taribo said.

Cristiano Ronaldo is 'Real Madrid's most important player'... but he needs to play for the good of the team, admits Rafa Benitez

Rafa Benitez has called Cristiano Ronaldo 'Real Madrid’s most important player' but urged him to use his gifts for the good of the team and not just for personal glory.

Benitez was asked who was Real Madrid’s version of Spain Basketball captain Pau Gasol after Gasol scored a record 40 points in the European Championship semi-final against France to put the Spanish in the final.

He said: ‘Cristiano is our Gasol. He is our best player but what I want is that the most important player plays to help the team. Spain reached the final because the team played well and because the player who makes the difference played for the team.’

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez says he didn't feel wanted at Real Madrid after frustrating season on loan in Spain

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez wants to feel important again, after a frustrating loan spell with Real Madrid.

But Hernandez struggled to make an impact in Spain and was largely used as a substitute, making just 12 starts in all competitions, and
