Man Utd boss Van Gaal happy to go for title next season

New Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has no problem with being expected to win the Premier League title at first attempt.

Only three managers have won the Premier League at the first attempt - Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea and Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City. But Van Gaal accepts that is what is expected of him at Old Trafford.

He said: "Spain saw me succeed in my first year and in Germany as well. In England, it must also be possible. My immediate objective is to return United to No1 spot as soon as possible. The fans will certainly expect United to be champions again next year."
