Former Ajax, Manchester United, and Barcelona head coach Louis Van Gaal has revealed a positive update regarding his fight against prostate cancer in 2022.

Speaking to RTL, Van Gaal said he kept it a secret from the players.

He mentioned that he had to undergo regular radiation therapy and needed urine bags to help him urinate.

He added that he is currently feeling well and can now do some things on his own.

'After three years of radiation therapy, kidney infections, prostate surgery, I can finally manage it. I can pee naturally again, which is important.'

But he joked and said 'But I can't make love anymore'

From 2009 to 2011, he won the Bundesliga and Supercup with Bayern Munich before heading to Manchester United in 2017, where he won the FA Cup.

Asked in a previous interview whether his cancer has changed his outlook on life, Van Gaal said: 'Not much, really. Look, I come from a family in which we are nine brothers. I am the smallest. My father died when I was 11 years old. He died at 53. 

'My first wife died when she was 39. And all my brothers died too soon. I'm used to death. That's why I know that death is a part of life, and you can deal with it. 

'When I first heard I had cancer I said, 'Okay, it's not good news, but I better try to do something about it.' Each human can react differently. That's why I say: "Be yourself."'
