VIDEO: Louis van Gaal supports Portlaoise - and shows off a pretty decent Irish accent

Enterprising Portlaoise GAA fan Catherine Doyle has lined up a new supporter for her local club - Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

It took him a few seconds to get the phrase right, but when he did manage it his accent wasn’t half bad.
