Man Utd boss Van Gaal: I'm GREAT!

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has declared himself happy with his first three months in charge.

The Dutchman, who asked to be judged in mid-October when he took over at Old Trafford in July, was asked to assess his performance on Friday and the response was typically blunt.

"I am always great," said Van Gaal. "That's a very easy question. Thank you!

"How do I respond to that? No, I'm not going in the right direction? No. I have confidence in myself and in my players and that is very important. But much more important is that the players have confidence in the manager and his staff.

"When I respond I'm arrogant because normally I am always moving in the right direction - I have showed that already."
