Young says Man Utd players convinced of title challenge

Manchester United winger Ashley Young says the players still believe they can win the title this season.

Louis van Gaal's side sit fourth in the Premier League table, already 13 points off pace-setters Chelsea after just 12 games.

"I think the manager has said obviously we want to break that top four," said Young.

"But you know players and staff at the club, we want to win the league title.

"I think he [Van Gaal] has got that aura. You know he's got that presence out on the training ground and the training pitch.

"He believes in people, he gives you that belief, he's an honest man and he just wants everyone to go out there and do well.

"The manager wants to achieve massive things, he wants the club to get back to winning titles, and we're no different to that.

"You know the players have bought into that philosophy since pre-season and that's exactly what everyone is doing.

"We're all pulling in the right direction, pulling in the same direction and everybody is leading that charge up the league."
