Louis van Gaal fined us for being one minute late for lunch, says Fellaini

Marouane Fellaini has revealed that Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal was furious when some of the players turned up just one minute late for lunch.

Van Gaal, well known for his strict discipline, arrived at Old Trafford in 2014 and has issued on the spot fines for various indiscretions.

Indeed, Belgian midfielder Fellaini, who has enjoyed something of a resurgence under the Dutchman, said ahead of the club's game with Crystal Palace this weekend that lateness was not tolerated under the current regime.

"He blew a fuse the other day when a group of 10 of us were one minute late for lunch after training," Fellaini said.

"You think one minute is nothing and it wasn't for training, but for the canteen. For him it's important though.

"He dished out a few fines. That's what happens to late-comers and even for a red card. You get fined, too, for a bad foul."
