(Reuters) - Manager Louis van Gaal's Manchester United team are too rigid and are being crippled by a lack of freedom, according to former first-team coach Rene Meulensteen.

United's style under Van Gaal has already been criticised by former midfielder Paul Scholes and Dutchman Meulensteen added that the team seemed to have lost the "obligation to entertain" and bemoaned their lack of adventure.
