Manchester United players must be more ‘horny’, says Louis van Gaal

Louis van Gaal has demanded more passion from his Manchester United players in the return leg of their Europa League last-32 tie against Midtjylland, saying: “I often use the word horny with my players.”

United face Midtjylland having been humiliated in the first leg of the tie – the 2-1 defeat piling more pressure on Van Gaal, whose job continues to be linked with José Mourinho.
Speaking in the buildup to Thursday night’s game, Van Gaal said: “There’s a lot of criticism, so it can influence players but they have to ignore it.

“I think Midtjylland has a very good organisation, very detailed … they play with diagonal pressing. I do that also with my team. Not many teams are doing that. And when I see the data of Midtjylland they have always won against English opponents.

“We have to keep the ball better and we have to move the ball quicker – that’s always what we have to do. Desire … it is a great word. I often use the word ‘horny’ with my players.”

Must be difficult to remain 'horny' when your entire team gets *bleep*'d by 11 men every Week.

Even more difficult when those 11 players are usually relegation fodder teams

I assume it'd make more sense in Dutch.
It would in German.

Think we should have had just closed this thread after Toms cheeky input

Well, horny would have a different meaning for people speakers of some romance languages. Cornuto or cornudo.
