Van Gaal insists he'll get it right at Man Utd

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is unconcerned over their dismal start to the season.

Van Gaal believes he will be given time to turn things around and is convinced the support shown towards him in the transfer window shows he feels there is a strong sense of trust.

He told the Mirror: "My start at Bayern was just as bad as my start with Manchester United.

"But the big difference was that at Bayern I had already been called in for a major showdown with Uli Hoeness, who wanted an explanation.

"And what have United done? They have just bought more players for me. They kept buying players.

"They are supporting me. That is a sign of trust in the manager. I feel that. I feel their trust and belief in my ability.

"It is not just a matter of believing in my football philosophy, but in me as a person too.

"Do I get worried when I look at the league table now? Come off it, that means nothing. We have only just started.

"And the facts are that I have never let any clubs down. I have won things. I have given those clubs success.

"And that is exactly what I will do here at United."
