Louis van Gaal set his sights on catching
Manchester City after watching his team rip Tottenham apart with their
best display of the season.
For eight months Van Gaal has been promising Manchester
United fans everything would soon start to click into place and it
finally did on Sunday as United beat Spurs 3-0.
Marouane Fellaini,
Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney found the net in a rampant first half
display that had all the hallmarks of the Sir Alex Ferguson era at Old
Trafford.
United played with speed, width, aggression and destruction to record
a win that puts them within two points of second-placed City, who lead
Arsenal by one point.
After losing at Burnley on Saturday, City
have fallen further behind Premier League leaders Chelsea and Manuel
Pellegrini's men are now in Van Gaal's sights.
When asked whether
City had been dragged into the "rat race" - a term Van Gaal uses to
describe the fight for the top four - the United boss said: "Of course,
because Arsenal is one point behind and we are two points behind.
"It is good for us and the fans and the media because you can write a lot of things down. We have to go step by step. It is a rat race and we are now two points from the second position."
