erectile dysfunction costs us €10m a year

A SURGE in the number of men suffering from erectile dysfunction has resulted in millions of euro being spent by the State trying to solve the problem.

The Health Service Executive has spent €50million on medicines such as Viagra in the past five years, according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act. Of the total, €31m was used to give a lift to medical card holders prescribed erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs, including Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, since 2009.

A further cost of €14m was incurred for the provision of the drugs to patients under the Drugs Payment Scheme, which covers the excess cost of approved medications over a limit of €144 for individuals and families each month.

More than €4m was also spent on

ED drugs under the Long-Term Illness Scheme, which covers the cost of medicines dispensed to patients suffering from certain conditions such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

In total, the State has spent €49,943,786 on drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in the five years up to 2014.

The figures are likely to be the subject of intense scrutiny in the coming months, as the HSE is on course to exceed its budget by €500m by the end of the year.

Drugs prescribed for the treatment of ED under the three schemes include Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, Sidena, and Vizarsin. Each of the medicines contains the same active ingredient, sildenafil.

Big Dog could lift the weight off the shoulders of soldiers by carrying their load

Robomule does the grunt work HE’S big, noisy and tough – and is set to become a soldier’s best four-legged friend.

‘Big Dog’ is a robotic mule designed to lighten the load of troops by carrying some of their

It was given its first live military trial last week in Hawaii – and passed with flying colours.

Jibo, the only friend a geek will ever need – well almost MAN’S best friend had better watch out – who needs a dog when you can have Jibo.

It may look like a cross between a Pixar character and desk lamp, but the US makers of the Jibo ‘social robot’ promise it will be able to understand its owner and cater to their every need. Well, almost.

Inventor Dr Cynthia Breazeal claims Jibo is the world’s first sociable bot which will interact and

chat, while also using facialrecognition technology so that its ‘eye’ can follow you around the room, taking photos and video.

What’s more, the affectionate 28cm companion will take care of your phone messages, remind you when to take your medication, dance, and even read bedtime stories to your children. Dr Breazeal, an MIT professor and founder of Jibo Inc, insisted the

robot had the power to enhance lives and ‘help you, like a partner, rather than simply being a tool’.

At a demonstration in New York seen by New Scientist magazine, she casually asks: ‘How are you doing, Jibo?’ To which, Jibo replies: ‘I’m great, thanks for asking.’

Jibo, which charges via wireless pads around the home, costs nearly €380 and won’t be available until late 2015.

LCpl Brandon Dieckmann said: ‘I thought it was going to be stumbling around and lose its footing but it’s actually proven to be pretty reliable and pretty rugged.’

Nama unveils its Council not for €3bn city plans turning on gigs TWO charities yesterday called for the Government to tackle the housing crisis by introducing rent control measures and building new houses as a Nama plan for the city was announced.

The State’s bad bank plans to split €3billion between developing Dublin’s south docklands and building homes over the next six years, Finance Minister Michael Noonan said.

The news came as Threshold pinpointed ‘unsustainable rent increases’ in the private sector, while homeless charity Focus Ireland said €500million from next year’s Budget should be earmarked to build 3,000 new homes.

THE last-ditch effort to save the five cancelled Garth Brooks concerts last night appeared to have failed.

Dublin City Council didn’t agree to allow an uncontested High Court action overturn its original decision, which granted just three licences to Aiken Promotions for the gigs instead of five.

Dublin City Council’s Owen Keegan also denied assertions by Croke Park director Peter McKenna that he gave assurances all five licences would be granted.

Promoter Peter Aiken told an Oireachtas Joint Committee he explored ‘every avenue’ in his attempt to have the five gigs go ahead but had met ‘a brick wall’.

INTO THE WEST: Tourism Minister Paschal Donohoe rustled up some good ol’ boys and gals to announce that while Garth Brooks may not be coming to Dublin, the city will still have country and western-themed events between July 25-29, including the Whelan’s Bluegrass Country & Roots Festival and the OK Corral Busking Trail Picture: dePt of tourism & transPort

Luas Cross City works unearth human bones from past age

HISTORICAL human remains have been uncovered during Luas Cross City roadworks in the centre of Dublin.

Gráinne Mackin, director of communications for the Luas Cross City project, said the bones were found during a 1.5metre dig at the junction of College Green outbound, close to the gates of Trinity College.

Workers had been carrying out extensive utility works to divert underground pipes, cables and other services from underneath the new tram’s running tracks, which is set to bypass the university.

The bones were discovered just after lunchtime yesterday and all authorities including the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, which oversees the conservation and protection of Ireland’s heritage and cultural assets, have been informed.

Taking into account the area’s historical background, Ms Mackin said the relics ‘could be anything from as far back as medieval times’.

A specialist team of archaeologists have since sectioned off the scene and

by LukE HOLOHAN

will carry out a finger-tip examination.

Due to the delicate nature of the find, the careful excavation of the remains is estimated to take a couple of days.

The Luas Cross City tram will be an extension to the Luas Green line and will travel from St Stephen’s Green to Broombridge, Dublin 7.

Interchanging with the existing Red line route for a more comprehensive light rail transport service, the tram is expected to provide access to tourist hotspots such as the National History Museum, Temple Bar, Dublin’s shopping districts and well-known art galleries in a journey time of 24minutes.

Earlier this week, Luas Cross City officials had announced that the schedule was ‘on plan’, with the project reportedly 30 to 35 per cent complete.

Despite the discovery, the progress of the light rail is said to be unaffected and construction will continue, apart from in the cordoned area.

Luas Cross City is timetabled to be complete by the end of 2017.

A full uniform for €6?

That’s school sorted SUPERMARKETS have started a back-to-school price war, with rival Irish retailers offering full uniforms for as little as €6.

Tesco announced details yesterday of its uniform bundle, which includes a unisex blue polo shirt and a navy sweatshirt, as well as a boy’s navy trousers or a girl’s navy skirt. The polo shirt is €1.50, the sweatshirt €2.50 and the trousers/skirt are just €2 – €6 in total.

Widower claims inquest ‘cover-up’ over witnesses

by ED cARTy

The widower of an Indian woman who died four days after giving birth to her son has alleged a cover-up over a longawaited inquest into her death.

Dhara Kivlehan, 28, died from multiorgan failure in Belfast’s Royal Victoria hospital on September 28, 2010 after being airlifted from Sligo General suffering a severe case of pre-eclampsia. her husband Michael complained during a hearing in Carrick-on-Shannon that he is last on the list of witnesses: ‘It’s a bloody cover-up. My wife was Indian.’

Lawyer Damien Tansey has threatened to challenge coroner eamon MacGowan’s ‘bewildering’ decision to call only six witnesses and said the Kivlehans are considering asking Belfast coroner Dr John Leckey to reopen the inquest, which was moved to the Republic over concerns about compelling medics from Sligo.

Mr Kivlehan and his three-year-old son were awarded almost €1million in damages last year after the hSe apologised for shortcomings in the young mother’s care. The case has drawn parallels with that of Savita halappanavar, who died in a Galway hospital in October 2012 after suffering a miscarriage and septicemia.

Police crack online paedophile ring DOCTORS, teachers, carers and former police officers were last night among 660 suspected paedophiles held in the UK’s biggest ever crackdown on people accessing child abuse images online. Only 39 of those arrested by the National Crime Agency were known to police. Many of the suspects had unsupervised access to children, the agency said.

As a result of the operation, more than 430 children ‘in the care, custody or control’ of the suspects had been protected. Child protection experts said the arrests were the ‘tip of the iceberg’.

co-star. He told her she was more suited to the role than Winslet or Knightley.

In return, the former N-Dubz star allegedly boasted she could ‘sort out’ drugs for a boys’ night out she was arranging for him.

The 26-year-old put him in touch with her rapper friend, Mike GLC, who brought the cocaine to London’s five-star Dorchester Hotel, jurors heard.

Contostavlos’s alleged drug deal was taped and exposed in a story in The Sun On Sunday last May. During discussions about a visit to a pole dancing club called Whites, Mahmood asked: ‘Talking of white, what about white sweets?’

Contostavlos allegedly said: ‘Definitely on the day. What I will do, I can definitely sort it, I just need to make some more calls.’

Two days later, she was arrested and told police: ‘The undercover journalist persuaded me that I was to play a leading role in a major film and that I would be paid a lot of money. At that time I was trying to find a role in a film.’

Contostavlos denies helping to supply drugs; Mike GLC, real name Michael Coombs, has admitted supplying drugs.

The trial continues.

Robber chased by hoe-wielder A BURGLAR was caught after he ran in front of a Garda patrol car while being chased by the victim of the burglary with a garden hoe.

Garda Sarah McArdle told the court that she arrested Mark Kelly, 36, after he ran down a cul-de-sac and tried to climb across a wall.

In his victim impact report, David Wheefer asked the court to consider ordering the recovering heroin addict to take part in drug treatment services, instead of jailing him.

Kelly, of Brian Boru Street,

Clontarf, also admitted taking part in a robbery of an iPhone and wallet on Harcourt Street on July 23, 2012, where he escorted a ‘very drunk’ man up a street before helping two others to go through his pockets.

Judge Mary Ellen Ring adjourned sentencing until next January, when she wants to see evidence Kelly, who has spent over 13 of the last 15 years in custody, is making efforts to get off methadone. Earlier, Kelly told the court: ‘I’ve been here so long. I’m on a roller coaster and I can’t get off it.’

Bryan, of Brookview Crescent, Tallaght, pleaded guilty to carrying out

nine robberies and possession of a weapon during some of them, and also pleaded guilty to three thefts and stealing a car and to robbery of a pharmacy.

The court heard Bryan was spending up to €450 a day to feed his drug habit.

He has 122 previous convictions including robbery, criminal damage and possession of knives.

Another sample was taken yesterday and if the water has improved by Friday the prohibition notice will be lifted. DCC said it hasn’t identified the cause of the contamination, but it could be faecal matter from dogs and birds, overflows from drains or weather and tidal conditions.

by NicOLE LE MARiE MANY smokers say they light up to calm their nerves, but they could be damaging their mental health just as much as their lungs.

Smokers are more likely to die by suicide than people who do not, a study suggests.

Nicotine in tobacco could be increasing the risk of psychiatric disorders, it adds.

Psychiatry professor Richard Grucza said: ‘Smoking may increase the risk for psychiatric disorders, or make them more severe, which, in turn, can influence suicide risk.’

US researchers found suicide rates dropped up to 15 per cent, compared with the national average, in states that increased tobacco taxes and banned smoking in public places between 1990 and 2004.

‘If you’re not a smoker, or not likely ever to become a smoker, your suicide risk shouldn’t be influenced by tobacco policies,’ Prof Grucza added.

The research from the Washington University School of Medicine was published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research.

The number of smokers in Ireland dropped from 29 per cent to 22 per cent in the ten years to December 2013, thanks largely to the workplace smoking ban, with a drop in associated health complaints.

He 1975’s Matthew Healy says his days of ‘hard drugs’ are behind him but admits he can’t give up marijuana or his beloved red wine.

The singer insisted that despite being a wildchild, he was never a ‘bad kid’.

‘I’m over my stage of doing hard drugs now, I’m not really doing that any more,’ he told Guilty Pleasures in an exclusive chat.

‘In short: I was a wild teen. I’ve been in a band since I was 14 and we kind of orientated around c r e a t iv e

types and, yeah, I just used to do drugs. Not in a self-destructive way, I mean I would never let my behaviour have a derogatory effect on my family. I wasn’t a bad kid but I was experimental.’

But that doesn’t mean that the singer admitted he can’t rule out going back to his bad old ways on occasions.

‘I wouldn’t say I’ve got a straight-edge mentality towards drugs now but I’ve not necessarily got a problem any more,’ said the son of former Loose Women star Denise Welch.

He also claimed he struggled to perform with his band – which also includes Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann and George Daniel – without having a bottle of red and a couple of joints.

‘I always drink red wine and in a way it’s like a prop of mine now, like I’ve always got a bottle on stage with me,’ he said. ‘everyone knows we smoke a lot of weed. I mean, we’ve got songs about it.’

Rescued from squalor, 500 prisoners of child ‘refuge’

HUNDREDS of children who suffered sexual abuse and were forced to beg in the streets have been rescued from a Mexican refuge.

The 458 youngsters were held against their will in filthy conditions, fed rotten food and made to sleep on the floor among rats and fleas, prosecutors said yesterday.

Police and troops also freed 138 adults from the Great Family group home in the city of Zamora in the western state of Michoacan.

Many of the home’s residents were never allowed to leave the premises, according to Mexico’s attorney general Murillo Karam.

‘We found them living in truly terrible conditions,’ he told a news conference.

by AiDAn RADnEDgE ples filed complaints with authorities because they were not allowed to see their children at the home.

One of the parents was a woman who grew up and gave birth to two children at Great Family, which has been open for 40 years.

She was allowed to leave when she was 31 but Verduzco kept the two children.

The refuge was home to 278 boys, 174 girls and six infants. Babies born there were registered as children of Verduzco and their parents were given no say in their upbringing.

One desperate mother even offered Verduzco 10,000 pesos (€575) to return her young daughters.

The home’s funding came from charitable donations with help from companies and the government.

Authorities are treating the children for psychological and sexual abuse as well as looking for suitable homes for the victims.

Bieber racing case hits skids JUSTIN BIEBER’S trial on alleged car racing was delayed again yesterday after his lawyers asked for more time to work out a plea-bargaining deal.

Claims that the star (pictured) drove under the influence and resisted arrest will now be heard on August 5.

A Florida judge set the date following a brief hearing in Bieber’s absence. Prosecutors said both sides needed another three weeks to discuss if a trial was ‘necessary’.

Bieber, 20, was arrested in Miami Beach in January after allegedly racing in his Lamborghini.

AS children, we are often urged to eat our veggies. But it’s a plea that appears to have fallen on deaf ears.

Many of us grow up without having tried a host of basic foods such as turnips and sprouts, a study suggests. One in ten adults has never tried vegetables such as leek, celery and kale.

Common cheeses were avoided by one in four people, while more than four in ten had never tried meats such as goose and venison.

FOUR boys having a kickabout were killed yesterday when an Israeli navy gunboat shelled a beach in Gaza City.

The attack on a group aged between nine and 11 was described as a ‘cowardly act’ by Palestinian officials.

Witness Ahmed Hassera said: ‘When the first shell hit the land, they ran away – but another shell hit them all. It looked as if the shells were chasing them.’

At least ten other Palestinians – including a five-monthold baby – are reported to have been killed in air strikes since a ceasefire plan collapsed on Tuesday.

As many as 100,000 people in northern Gaza have been advised to leave their homes. Israel says reprisals will continue until Hamas stops firing rockets. Leaflets dropped by its warplanes said: ‘Whoever disregards these instructions and fails to evaculate immediately will endanger their own lives, as well as those of their families.’

Aid agencies have warned that the exodus may spark a humanitarian crisis. At least 18,000 people have taken shelter in schools, yet many are staying put, the UN believes.

One person refusing to leave home, Sami Wadiya, said: ‘We know it’s risky but there are no secure places to go to.’

In Israel, sirens warning of rocket fire continued to ring yesterday, with many people running for cover. Hamas says it remains sceptical at Egypt’s involvement in peace talks.

Some 211 Palestinians and one Israeli have died in violence since last week.

How Lottie Moss joined big sis Kate in fashion premier league

K

ate Moss had Vanessa Paradis to thank for her big break. Back in 1992, the French singer-songwriter pulled out of an advertising campaign for Calvin Klein Jeans. Moss, then 19, stepped in and the shoot went on to become one of the most iconic in fashion. Now, just over two decades later, Moss’s half-sister, Lottie, is following in her footsteps by lending her face to the same brand. the new ads pay homage to the black and white, pared-back aesthetic the brand became synonymous with in the 1990s. and with her heart-shaped face and doe eyes, 16-year-old Lottie bears a striking resemblance to the superstar with whom she shares a father. to complete the historic circle, the photographer is Michael avedon, 23, the grandson of Richard avedon, who shot the label’s infamous 1980 campaign featuring the then 15-year-old Brooke Shields featuring the tagline: ‘You wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.’

Would CK have booked Lottie had she not been Kate’s sister? ‘I don’t even know how we would have come across her otherwise, to be honest,’ deadpans Justin O’Shea, buying director for online shop Mytheresa, which is partner to the project. ‘She’d been shot for teen Vogue but not much else. But seeing the images now, I don’t know who we

Lottie Moss is following in her half-sister’s shoes by modelling for Calvin Klein. Naomi Mdudu talks to the people who made it happen could have chosen that would have looked better than her.’

CK creative director Kevin Carrigan agrees. ‘One of the things Calvin has always done is relevant things in each decade,’ he says. ‘He did that with Brooke Shields in the 1980s, Kate Moss in the 1990s and Lara Stone in the noughties. We’re in a new era now and Lottie is part of that next generation.’ the collection she models is part of an exclusive ReIssue project with Mytheresa, which sees some of the most recognisable pieces from the brand’s archive brought back. Carrigan came up with the sketches and Mytheresa trawled the brand’s archive to select the nine pieces that made the edit.

‘People want a straight, modern boyfriend jean like the ones Kate Moss wore,’ says O’Shea. ‘People also want dungarees, a

I didn’t want duds in the collection. I wanted everything to be desirable.’

But don’t expect copies of the old styles – each piece has been modified and brought up to date. ‘that was important to me and I wanted the fit to be perfect,’ says Carrigan. ‘those high-

rise Brooke Shields jeans were for the 1980s, and people have moved on since then, so we’ve tweaked them a little bit. We looked at lots of old images and editorials to think about who the new girl is to establish what Calvin Klein is today and not just what it was back then.’

So much has changed since CK’s jeans heyday but O’Shea says it’s not trying to compete with the likes of cult denim labels

s it too much to ask to wake up to tanned, primed pins every morning? Apparently so.

These days I have come to rely heavily on the kind of tan that comes from a bottle. Here are some tips to create the perfect faux glow.

Think of fake-tanning as a three stage process; the before, the event and the after.

Stage 1: The day before you apply tan, embark on an exfoliation party. scrub down your body with a decent scrub, one which has gritty particles to remove dead skin. I love Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff.

Work that product over any dry areas. This can be tedious but it’s the secret to good application. Tan sticks to dry skin and makes it look streaky so when your skin is dry pile up on all the oils and body butters you can find in your bathroom cabinet.

Stage 2: The following day, have a shower and de-fuzz before you apply your tan.

Avoid oils that might leave a residue on the skin and seal your pores with cold water. Take your favourite tan – mine is Vita Liberata NKD SKN Tinted Tan Mousse, and apply it to a tanning mit. Begin with the lower half of the body and work your way up to avoid smudging. The trick is to apply to one area at a time and blend well.

Hands and feet are trickiest – use only the residue on the mit. I apply gradual tanner to these areas as it’s more forgiving. sleep in your tan for the best results.

Stage 3: stay moisturised in the days following application. since you’re so well exfoliated, avoid scrubs until you want to remove the tan. The more hydrated your skin the longer your tan will last. so girls, there’s no need to mourn the days we used to bake in the sun using baby oil instead of sPF. Faux glow your way to a beautiful tan and save on all that skin damage. @dazzledust25

ThirST By Kerry hudSoN Possibly. Her first novel Tony Hogan Bought Me An Ice-Cream Float Before He Stole My Ma got quite a bit of attention and not just because of the title. A semi-autobiographical comingof-age novel about a young girl, Janie, brought up on margarine sandwiches in a series of bedsits around the country, it was a pin-sharp critique of modern urban poverty without being quite so bleak as that sounds.

JuDy GREER, 38, is breaking out after years of scene-stealing sidekick roles. She plays andy Serkis’s ape wife, Cornelia, in dawn of the Planet of the apes How did you come to play an ape?

I love the Planet Of The Apes franchise.

My husband’s such a big fan it was sort of: ‘If you can’t beat them, join them.’ He’s so happy I’m in the film.

How did you learn to give good chimp? A regular acting audition first,

then I went to the parkour studio where the stunt guys playing the apes train. We did some improv with me playing an ape that the ape guru Terry Notary filmed on his iPhone. It was so weird. You just have to not think about what you’re doing, because if you start to think about it even a little bit, you feel like such an ass.

What can we learn from apes?

They seem to hear in a very pure way what people are trying to communicate to them. I liked the pureness. If I was Cornelia and my husband came into our bedroom late, I’d be like: ‘Hey man, you’re here now, that’s cool.’ There was no subtext. I thought: ‘I need to remember that in real life.’

Are you keen on communications via social media? I don’t do

Facebook. My publicists asked if I would send a Facebook message out for fathers on Father’s Day last month. I said: ‘I

don’t have Facebook,’ and they said: ‘You do, you have an account and you’re verified.’ Sneaky. I have Instagram and Twitter. I was trying to get musicstreaming service Pandora to play over a workout DVD so I didn’t have to listen to this awful music and voice. Then my phone and computer stopped working – I couldn’t even tweet about how horrible I felt that everything was breaking. Argh!

You’re breaking through as a leading lady after years of supporting roles. Was there an ‘Aha!’ moment? The only ‘Aha!’

descriptions of skin and touch that run the gamut of male sexual attitudes towards women, from explicit abuse to voyeuristic obsession. As a result this three-star novel is sometimes desultory and way too long, and she also fails to avoid the obvious trap doors with Alena, whose ropy English accent and straightout-of-a-newspaper backstory veer too close to cliché. But it’s tremendously affecting in places and impressively unostentatious in its instinct for a common story within a city of millions that rarely gets heard. Claire Allfree

What prompted that turnaround?

I’d meet people who had this glow about them. Actor/director Josh Radnor was one.

Jessica Biel’s assistant had the same thing.

Anyway, they both did Transcendental Meditation. My husband and I weren’t even engaged yet but after I started it, he would say: ‘I can’t keep my hands off you, there’s just something about you, you’re glowing all the time.’ And then he totally asked me to marry him.

Your husband has teenage kids.

How have you found being a stepmum? My stepkids are so old now,

I’m almost done. Except now it gets really expensive because they’re going to college. People say: ‘You have it so easy, your kids are older.’ But the stuff I have to deal with now is so major – college, sex, grades and sports. I’m like: ‘I know your baby has a dirty nappy but we’re about to write a really big cheque so enjoy your free school and your nappy-changing!’

You’ve written a very funny biography called I Don’t Know What You Know Me From. How

did that happen? I always wanted to write something but the structure seems really hard in screenplays. Then a book agent at my acting agency said: ‘Just try writing some stuff. I wrote scribbles about a million things – my mum, my dog, the dress I wore to the Oscars falling apart on the red carpet. And this agent said it was great, sent it around and I ended up with a deal.

Is there anything you wrote that you wish you hadn’t? Not at all. I wish I’d

written more. I was a little safe with my parents and stepkids. I could have gone into more details about guys I’ve dated but who cares? That’s kind of boring unless you’ve dated famous rich guys, which I haven’t.

There’s a chapter called My First Pube. Were you desperate to grow pubes? I was desperate for boobs, I didn’t care about pubes. My main focus was boobs and when the pube came I thought: ‘Now I’ll definitely get boobs.’ Of course I never did. Lesley O’Toole

flynn looks to build on Dublin’s winning ways by pAuL kEAnE A lot done, more to do. Paul Flynn isn’t a political man but the old Fianna Fáil phrase pretty much sums it up for both he and dublin right now.

After retaining their Allianz league title they have scored 11and 16-point Championship wins over laois and Wexford to secure a third straight leinster final against Meath. the big thing for half-forward Flynn, however, is that the season is just getting going as they edge closer to their first significant win of the summer and the business end of the campaign.

All-Ireland medal winner Flynn hails from the Fingallians club in Swords, close to the Meath border. He knows what’s at stake on Sunday and what to expect.

‘Meath are playing really well at the moment,’ said Flynn. ‘they put it up to us last year but that was no surprise, every time you play against Meath, it is always a tight game. ‘that is the appeal of the whole dublin/Meath rivalry, the form book goes out of the window and it is 15 against 15. they are chalking up big scores, they have scored nine goals in two games, which is some going.’

Flynn said he grew up watching

‘Armstrong should stay on that list,’ the Dubliner said. ‘In the 100-year history of the race you can’t not have a winner for seven years.

van gaal will need to make fast calls 11,246 miles

by gAvin bROwn

LOUIS VAN GAAL officially began life as Manchester United manager yesterday after arriving at the club’s Carrington training ground for the first time.

The Dutchman began work just four days after his final game in charge of Holland’s World Cup campaign.

The 62-year-old dodged the cameras at the main gate but was shown on the club’s Twitter feed alongside assistant manager Ryan Giggs and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

Van Gaal was due to meet those players not on a post-World Cup break – including recent signing Ander Herrera – and members of the club’s staff.

Distance from Brasilia to Los Angeles (via Amesterdam and Manchester) Van Gaal will have travelled in a week, when United arrive in the USA.

‘Players are set to be put under scrutiny’ The Dutchman will have no time to ease himself in with the squad jetting off to the USA tomorrow for the club’s pre-season tour. They play LA Galaxy, Roma, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, while Van Gaal’s Old Trafford debut will come in a friendly against Valencia on August 12.

There is plenty for Van Gaal to get his teeth into, not least whether he wants to go into the transfer market to add to the summer signings of left-back Luke Shaw and midfielder Herrera.

Van Gaal has to judge his current squad, with a clutch of players with two years or less to run on their contracts set to be put under scrutiny in the United States next week.

Giggs has been overseeing training since United returned to work on July 4 but Van Gaal is likely to want to see the likes of Shinji Kagawa, Tom Cleverley, Ashley Young and Chris Smalling before passing judgment on their United future.

United open their Premier League campaign at home to Swansea on August 16 and visit Sunderland eight days later.

A fast start will be a major priority for the new boss as United look to bounce back from last year’s seventh-placed finish.

Vidal: Going nowhere

Vidal’s not up for sale, Juve tell Van Gaal JUVENTUS have insisted Manchester United target Arturo Vidal has never been for sale.

The Italian champions are aiming to hold on to their star midfielder, whose stock rose significantly with his displays for an impressive Chile side at the recent World Cup. Vidal, 27, who has three years left on his contract in Turin, is reportedly wanted by new United boss Louis van Gaal but has indicated he would be happy to remain at the Serie A club.

Juve club administrator Giuseppe Marotta said: ‘Vidal is a Juventus player and we have never put him up for sale.

‘A lot of clubs have asked for him but we have never sat down to negotiate. We want to keep him.’

Vidal is expected to return to Turin for pre-season training on July 28.

United, who on Monday announced a £750million sponsorship deal with Adidas, have already made two bigmoney signings this summer in defender Luke Shaw and midfielder Ander Herrera but are being linked with a host of other players.

kEY issuEs in vAn gAAL’s in-TRAY

1) The heart of defence

Top of Van Gaal’s to-do list following the departures of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. Filling such a big hole will not be easy. United have been linked with the likes of Mats Hummels and Thomas Vermaelen, and bringing in an authoritative figure seems essential. The Dutchman must decide where Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling fit into his plans.

2) Forward thinking

David Moyes didn’t solve the problem of

how to get the best out of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney (pictured) playing together. Van Gaal and Van Persie clearly have a good relationship, so the new boss is likely to approach it from the standpoint of how Rooney fits in.

3) Middle matters

If Rooney plays in a free role or as a No.10, that leaves Van Gaal with the issue of what to do with Juan Mata, Shinji Kagawa and Marouane Fellaini.

United sorely lacked authority in

midfield last season. They have already signed Ander Herrera and have been heavily linked with Arturo Vidal.

4) Youth development

The famed flow of talent has slowed to a trickle in recent years. Adnan Januzaj is a star of the future but Van Gaal, who relishes the chance to nurture young talent, needs to decide if he is going to follow in Sir Alex Ferguson’s footsteps by trusting the kids.

Jesse Lingard impressed in loan spells last season, while James Wilson and Tom Lawrence made

their debuts late in the campaign.

5) The class of ’92
