Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has warned his team's rivals his side will only get better as the season progresses. The Red Devils snatched a 2-1 victory over Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday and the result moved them into the top four for the first time since August 2013. Manchester United had goalkeeper David De Gea to thank for the win though as the Spanish goalie saved Leighton Baines' penalty just before half time and then made three great saves late in the game.
The United manager admitted his team's performance was scrappy but said: "I've already told my players we aren't playing good and we've already hit the top four, so what will happen when we're playing well? I mean playing well for 90 minutes, because we've played well for half a game or 60 minutes. That needs time - I'm afraid to say it again, but you saw it. We need to improve the organisation because we were outstanding in the first half, but then we let them have so many chances."
"I made substitutions to help our organisation but despite my changes it was not better because in the last 15 minutes they created three big chances," added Van Gaal. "David De Gea was fantastic today. When there are a lot of players in front of you your view is not so good as a goalkeeper. When the shot comes in from outside the box it is always at the last moment that you see the ball, but his reflexes are very good."
Manchester United are 14/1 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title this season.

hahahah... is that a joke... I love van gaal but this is just not real. IF you look at team it is great and they are nothing weaker than city or chelsea, maybe defense a little, but they can't create a single chanse. They offensive play are bad bad and all what they can do is individual trick from one of great striker....

I agree with you madzgos, they are great in attack, but they need some changes in defence and maybe one more qualiy player for the middle, Di Maria is playing great, he is really great, he is the best player in Manchester, Real have made big mistake, he was great last season, he can even better this, he has more freedom......

Falcao one more great player, Van Persie and Falcao are real nightmare for all stopers, but like I said they need some big players in defence, their stopers are not good enough...

Sone changes in thier defence and, I thin they could be third or fourth in premier league. They also have some problems with injuries. But Di Maria and Falcao are the top transfers of this summer. Manch made a very good job in transfer period. I expect from them only better and better matches.
