Manchester United Manager Louis van Gaal had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via the Daily Star): "Eighth place last year was a great result. I think we should be able to do that again this time around. We'll enjoy the moment. In the Premier League, you get tested every week. Next week we go to Tottenham Hotspur and we now look forward to it again."
"Its nice to be above Louis van Gaal [in the table]," he added. "Manchester United is obviously a great club."
