Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has
given his team something to aim for after
insisting the Red Devils can win the Premier
League title this season.
United secured their sixth consecutive victory in the league on Sunday after beating fierce rivals Liverpool 3-0 at Old Trafford, which
consolidated their third-place position in the
Premier League table.
With United enjoying a good run of form in
recent weeks and still being within eight points
of leaders Chelsea, Van Gaal admitted he
believes his team can launch an unexpected title
charge this term.
When asked if the Red Devils were now in the
title race this season, the Dutchman said: ‘Of
course. We have won six matches in a row now
and that’s fantastic.
‘But we have to improve our playing style still –
and I say that nearly every week.
‘We have to improve, but we’re very pleased
because we know what it is to win against
Liverpool. Everybody is happy. My cook is happy,my wife is happy and I’m happy.’
