“I have picked a large squad for this training camp because our preparations for the World Cup in Qatar begin in earnest next week,” said Van Gaal.

“I would also like to try another system of playing and so I want to involve as many players as possible.”

The Dutch host Denmark on March 26 and Germany three days later, both at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena.
