JOSE MOURINHO has delivered special praise to Manchester United's new Chosen One - Louis Van Gaal.

BIG FAN: Jose Mourinho with new Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal

The Chelsea boss was impressed how Van Gaal master-minded Holland to a 5-1 win over Spain last week.

The World Cup champions were then dumped out the tournament by Chile last night.

Mourinho said: "Louis van Gaal was brilliant in the way he analysed and prepared the game against Spain.

"Spain have score one goal just with the penalty and they have zero points - and they are already packing up to go home.

"I think it's fair to say that there is a big responsibility in Holland and in Chile.

"They did what, I think, in modern football you have to do.

"You have to be strategic. Holland and Chile they were very good by the strategic point of view, and Spain couldn't cope with it in my opinion."
