Manchester United can finish second says Louis van Gaal

Louis van Gaal believes Manchester United can still climb above rivals Manchester City and finish second in the Barclays Premier League.

United are five points behind Manuel Pellegrini’s side but have a tricky schedule with games against Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and City at Old Trafford to come over the next few weeks.

Ahead of Sunday’s game with Spurs, van Gaal believes his side can overtake their neighbours and finish behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.

"The coming matches are very decisive," the Dutchman said. "We are so close to a lot of clubs. We can be second or third. It is not a big difference, I believe. Manchester United have to be one of the teams who have to play in the Champions League."

Despite being fourth in the table and losing just three of his last 23 games, van Gaal has been criticised for his style of play by former players including United legend Paul Scholes.

But the former Barcelona boss is confident of success once his players start reproducing the kind of form they have shown in training.
