The general consensus as Louis van Gaal and Manchester United confirm his Old Trafford departure is that his press conference and post-match quotes have been far more free-flowing than the football his team played.

A colourful and self-confident character throughout his career, that did shine through in particular moments over two seasons that yielded one FA Cup trophy.

More a minor verbal slip than anything else, he did accidentally call QPR Queens Park Raisins, rather than Rangers.

Recently after a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Leicester at Old Trafford, he suggested that the pulling of hair by Robert Huth on his midfielder Marouane Fellaini was only allowed in a specific type of, er, situation. 

He also wasn't averse to joining in with terrace chants.

Mike Smalling, I mean Chris Smalling, isn't always called by his real birth name thanks to Louis.

And who could forget his demonstration of diving to an official during the 3-2 win over Arsenal earlier in the campaign?
