Louis van Gaal says Man Utd are
making good progress under his reign,
despite Tuesday’s embarrassing
Champions League exit.

United failed to get out of the group
stages for just the fourth time thanks
to their 3-2 defeat in Wolfsburg on
Tuesday.

PSV Eindhoven’s 2-1 win over CSKA
Moscow on the same night meant
United tumbled out of the continent’s
elite competition for an unwanted
reunion with the Europa League.

Yet despite failing to get through a
relatively easy group – and failing to
win over disgruntled supporters –
Van Gaal insisted United were on the
right track with him at the helm.

“At the moment, I cannot defend
myself because we are out of the
Champions League,” the United
manager said. “Every word that I say
is the wrong word.

“But when you see the facts, we went
further in the Capital One Cup (this
season), qualified for the Champions
League group stage, we have played
all these matches and are still in a
very good position in the league.

“The facts say we are better than last
year. That’s my answer because I can
only give facts. I’m also disappointed
that we are out of the Champions
League.”
