London - A defiant Manchester United
manager Louis van Gaal has answered
critics of his side's performances by
pointing out that his team would be top
of the Premier League based on their
form since November.
The Dutchman has come under scrutiny as
United have put on a string of
uncharacteristically subdued displays since
taking over at Old Trafford, often relying
on excellent goalkeeper David De Gea
and snatching goals against the run of play
to carve out results.

Van Gaal, who has tinkered with different
formations and resorted to playing striker
Wayne Rooney in central midfield,
defended the team's lack of attacking
verve by highlighting the results over the
last four months.
"When you see the score of the last 19 or
20 matches, we are the best team in the
league," Van Gaal told a news conference
on Friday ahead of his side's visit to
Swansea City on Saturday.
"I am never 100 percent (happy). We can
play better than we are now, but the
main thing is to win games. We've shown
our team spirit many times this season.
It's good for the fans and for me, as you
see a player wants to follow you."
United are third in the standings, 12
points adrift of leaders Chelsea, but have
taken more points (34) from their
previous 15 league matches than any
other Premier League side and have lost
just once in 19 games in all competitions.
They booked an FA Cup home quarter-
final against holders Arsenal with a 3-1
win at Preston North End on Monday.
In that match Van Gaal had to change the
formation and personnel after the 20-
times English champions fell behind
against their third-tier opponents.
"I believe that every player knows the
philosophy of me and my staff and
everyone wants to follow that
philosophy," Van Gaal said. "Our team
spirit is unbelievable.
"When we change the system during the
game we always surprise our opponent
and that's why it's also a good thing for
our team. Of course, it is not always that
we improve our game but mostly we
have improved and won the match, so
that's important."...
