Man Utd's 4-goal James Wilson: I hope I impressed Van Gaal

Manchester United striker James Wilson hopes his four goals against Manchester City in the Manchester Senior Cup final impressed manager Louis van Gaal.

The Staffordshire youngster scored twice against Hull City on his Premier League debut under interim manager Ryan Giggs towards the end of last season and hopes Van Gaal gives him another chance despite leaving him out of the U.S. tour.

"I hope I've impressed him the gaffer," said Wilson. "I showed him what I can do and hopefully I can get a call-up to do it in the first-team as well.

"The Manchester derby was a great event, scoring four goals and getting the win over our greatest rivals is brilliant. They won the Premier League and wanted to keep success going with the academy. To stop them doing that is great."
