The 64-year-old admitted Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick came to him after the opening match of the season against Tottenham to air their concerns about morale within a squad frustrated by his man-management methods and training techniques.
"It's a positive thing that the players are coming to me and not only Carrick or Rooney, other players," Van Gaal said.
"But now it was Carrick and Rooney and that was alarming for me because they are the captains. That's why I went to the dressing room. But all the players are communicating with me. They are coming to my office. Believe me, it is like that. I am not a dictator — I am a communicator."
