Man Utd: Louis Van Gaal Targets Premier League Title

THEWILL APP ADS 2

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says his ambition is to bring the Premier League title back to Old Trafford.

United thrashed promoted QPR 4-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday to give the Dutchman his first win since taking over in the summer.
“I want to win the Premier League title,” he said.

“If it is not this year, then the second or third year. I want to give a championship to the fans.”

Di Maria had a hand in three goals as well as getting on the scoresheet, although he was not immune from criticism from Van Gaal, believes there is more to come from his side.

“When you have a result of 4-0, then you can be happy as a coach, but you always have points you can improve,” he said.

“We have always to analyse what we have done. The result is fantastic but we can get much better.

“I said [before the match] ‘let’s make a new start today’.”

On Di Maria, Van Gaal added: “When you prepare three goals and make the first goal by yourself then you cannot play bad, but he had a lot of unnecessary losses so we can do better.”

Van Gaal insists the main measure of success in his debut campaign will be United’s final position in the Premier League, rather than their style of play.

“My teams are always focused on attack, but it is not our focus – that is to be in the first three. The most important thing is the trajectory,” he said.

With the Champions League group stages beginning without them in midweek, Manchester United’s next test is against another newly promoted Premier League side when they travel to Leicester on Sunday.
