Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal had this to say following the club's 1-1 draw at Sunderland (via BBC): "We have one point and that is not good enough for Manchester United. We have to work a lot. The players are very disappointed after the game because we thought we would win."
"You can never say how long it takes [to reverse fortunes] because when you win the next match, the confidence comes back."
Manchester United will look to regain their confidence with a win over MK Dons this afternoon.
