Dutch winger Arjen Robben has ruled out the possibility of following Louis van Gaal, his national team manager, to Manchester United.

Despite admitting that he shares a “special bond” with Van Gaal, who made him vice-captain of the Holland team, he will not be joining him at Old Trafford next season.
