Louis van Gaal is a breath of fresh air, ain’t he?

Most of the time, managers skirt around questions about the opposition with a non-committal “they are a tough team” or a “we must focus on what we’re doing.”

Not ol’ LvG though. He’s quite happy to be openly honest and frank about how Liverpool’s chances of pipping his side to the post for the top-four.

“I think Liverpool have to worry,” he said. “Because they have to regain points, not us. It’s in our own hands.

“The Champions League is a prize in itself and a club like Manchester United needs to be playing at the highest level. I have already said that a lot of times.”
