Van Gaal insists Man Utd taking FA Cup seriously

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists they're taking the FA Cup seriously.

United host League OneSheffield United in the FA Cup today having not come close to winning a trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as boss in 2013.

And Van Gaal admitted: “It's always very important (to win trophies) for a lot of reasons.

“You have to win trophies, then the fans are happy and sponsors are happy, they are coming to the stadium with a lot of confidence. Also for the continuity of the club it's very important.

“So that's why I think Manchester United has contracted me, because they have the belief that I shall give them a prize at the end of my contract. Maybe in my second year, it's still possible."
