United are improving and Van Gaal is impressed – apparently

Although his team have only recorded three wins from eight games manager Louis van Gaal is in a confident mood.

After roughly three months spent with his players Van Gaal believes that his squad finally understand his philosophy but are still working on translating it onto the pitch.

Regardless of the difficult start to a tenure that sees league leaders Chelsea ten points ahead, and seemingly already out of reach, the usually successful 63 year old still believes in his methods saying: ‘Normally I’m moving in the right direction. I have confidence in myself.’
