Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal believes his team is improving with every game.

The manager was asked by reporters on Tuesday what had stood out most during the opening part of his first season in charge.

Reflecting on his time at the Old Trafford helm to date, van Gaal added: "It's a process, and you can see every week that we are playing better. We are improving, and the results are coming. The first few games were a struggle, we played better than our opponents but lost a lot of points.

"After seven wins in a row and two draws, we're unbeaten for several weeks, but we can still improve. That's more important, we can improve, and we have to improve."
