雲高爾週年晚會上的震奮人心演說，令全場氣氛高漲！

引用當你開季10場比賽只有13分，而你是這支全世界最著名的球會的領隊，然後回到主場比賽。我也是人，我也有其他球會的經驗，你會明白你不會太受球迷歡迎。但是，當我踏入奧脫褔，10場比賽13分，所有觀眾仍然站起來熱烈拍掌，我當時在想，球迷有什麼可能仍在支持我？
要多謝球迷好使我們能夠繼續向前走，不止我、還有所有教職員，特別是球員們。效力一間偉大球會，然後開季10場只得13分，加上遇上一名與以往領隊截然不同的領隊一點也不容易。

季初時候傷患嚴重令開季變得很艱難，但我們仍然繼續走，團結一致。這是難以置信的。而這團結精神是全隊的功勞。我記得，我們應該是由第13位爬上了第三位！
差劣的開季後，我們依然相信我們能夠以第二名完成賽季。我記得之得有次全隊會議，隊長朗尼向大家說：「我們向第二名邁進吧！」而我亦說：「去吧！」
大家應該記得足總杯對阿仙奴的比賽。我們踢得更好，但球場上最出色的球員卻犯了一個大錯，令我們輸掉了比賽。之後，你們都記得我們獲得6連勝！
然後，就是對車路士！大家還記得作客對車路士嗎？當時我們有50分，然後朗尼說我們要邁進第二名。然後6連勝，再對陣車路士。那隊踢得更好？今天在這裡你很容易回答是「我們」，我知道是我們，但事實是我們輸了。我們輸了，但你能想像我們有8成的控球率，有10個絕佳機會，對方只有3個，3個！但他們贏了！

如果我們贏了那場比賽，再計算分數，雖然我們之後3連敗，但現在我們落後車路士13分，如果贏了那場比賽，我們有機會成為冠軍！我想告訴大家，我們其實相當接近！

不過，作為領隊，我知道不能這樣計算的。如果分數不夠，就代表著我們要付出更多。然而，我相信我的球員、教職員，以及曼聯這間球會會盡他一切努力！為什麼？因為我們擁有全世界最好的球迷！多謝大家，下季再見！

(在說完上述的演辭後，雲高爾下台後又再上台。並說：)
傑斯剛才對我說，他一定是對的，而今次肯定他是對的。我剛剛說你們是全世界最好的球迷，但今晚，我有少許失望。為什麼？
我剛才見到一位女士吹薩士風吹得非常好，請給予他最熱烈的掌聲！

引用When you start a season with 10 matches and 13 points and you are a manager of that club, the most world famous club and you play at home and I am also a human being and I have the experience with other clubs, when you have that result you are not very beloved by your fans and I came in the stadium of Old Trafford, 10 matches, 13 points and I came in and I saw by myself how I have to behave myself and then the public are applauding, standing up and I thought how is it possible that the fans are supporting me?
Thanks to that we could continue – not only me, my staff but especially the players because it is not so easy when you are playing in a great club that you have 10 matches,13 points and a new manager who demands in another way than all the other managers.
It's very difficult and with all the injuries of the first part of the season and then we continue with a spirit in the team, unbelievable, and that's the credit of this team, the spirit. We come from I thought in my memory 13th place to third position in the league.

After so bad start. And then we had to believe the players but also the staff that we could end second. I remember the meeting with the players with the captain Wayne Rooney who's saying 'we go for the second position in the league and I said yes. We go for it!'
You remember the game against Arsenal. We were the better team and the best player on the pitch in my opinion makes an error and we lose that game and I forget the meeting. And then you have to remember that we win six games in a row.
And then we go to Chelsea. You remember away game against Chelsea? No, no, no, you have to listen. I ask you to listen. Because at that time we have 50 points and then Rooney sat in the dressing room we go for the second place, he said that. Then six games in a row we win and then we go to Chelsea. Who are the better team then?! It's easy to say that now in this room. I can believe it but it was the truth but we lost. We lost that game but can you imagine when you have 80% ball possession you have 10 big possibilities and they have three, they have three and they win the game.
When we win that game count the numbers of points we could have won because after that we lost three games in a row. But when you see that we have 13 points and Chelsea have 83 points and we could have been champions.
What I want to say to you, we are very close!.
But as a manager I know that if is not counting, if is not counting, we have to produce more. And believe me the players but also the staff but also the organisation like Manchester United shall do their utmost best and why? Because we have the best fans of the world. Thank you for that and I will see you next season again.

Van Gaal stepped off stage before returning...
I want to say something Pay attention to the manager!
Ryan Giggs said to me, and he is always right but in this case particularly right. I have said to you you are the best fans in the world but tonight I was a little bit disappointed and I shall say why.
I have seen a lady who plays the saxophone fantastically. Give her big applause!
