Manchester United's players are reportedly ordered by manager Louis van Gaal to hand over their mobile phones the night before a match.

In a bid to keep the team focused, the Dutchman is believed to have implemented a number of rules since taking over Old Trafford in the summer.

According to the Daily Mail, Van Gaal makes sure that the players do not use their phones prior to a match and is known to drop players who are late for breakfast on the day of a game.

United are yet to win a competitive fixture under the Dutchman's leadership.
