Van Gaal says Man Utd building momentum

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal feels they're gaining momentum after victory over Stoke City.

After an indifferent start to the season, the Red Devils are fourth in the table and just a point behind third-placed Southampton despite a lengthy injury list.

Van Gaal said: "Maybe we forced the luck more and that is coming also because of the fighting spirit. When you see the team (like this) that is why the fans are also excited.

"We have fought until the end and also (despite) the long balls to Mr Crouch, we have survived. It is good for the players, good for the team, good for me and it is also good for the party we have tomorrow."
