Only two types of music are permitted inside the dressing room at Old Trafford: funky house or house.

In conversation with MUTV, Ashley Young - who is Manchester United's self-admitted official deejay, claimed that manager Louis van Gaal has very strict rules about what music is played before a match.

"I've been told by the manager that I can only play funky house, or house," Young said. "Seriously, he's liking the playlist. That's what he likes."

Young revealed in a Q&A in February that his favourite types of music are hip hop, R&B, house and reggae. However, it appears those genres just won't fly with Van Gaal.
