Manchester United shouldn’t underestimate “dangerous” Brugge, warns playmaker

They will gain approval for van Gaal who, in turn, will be satisfied the man he brought in from the cold – Adnan Januzaj – bagged the deflected goal at Villa Park.

“I’m very pleased because you can not get more points than six”, he said. “He had a lot of ball losses and in my opinion unnecessary”.

” These matches are hard and I think it is much more hard because we have drawn Brugge, who can defend very well and attack”.

Victory was United’s second straight 1-0 win after last week’s win over Tottenham and van Gaal believes they can still improve despite their 100 per cent record.

“We have a long way to go this season, but we have had a better start than last year and also two clean sheets”.

With no clear cut chances for either side, the game was not the most entertaining you would hope to see, the significant moment of the game came nearly on the half hour mark.

“Basically, I think we are showing consistency as a team; we are not giving away many chances to our rivals, which is always positive. I am happy at Manchester United and I am happy the way the manager worked with me so I don’t have any issues with that”, Januzaj said.

Vazquez has brief but positive memories of the Dutchman, who highlighted the 28-year-old as one of Brugge’s main threats at his pre-match press conference on Monday.

United host Club Brugge in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier on Tuesday, before returning to domestic action with a visit from Newcastle United on August 22. Characteristics of young player is he isn’t consistent.

“This has been badly managed by United, make no mistake”, he is quoted as saying in The Sunday.

“The fans have had nothing to chant about for years and it’s about time the players gave them something to cheer about”.

Van Gaal looks set to stick by captain Wayne Rooney despite his indifferent form in the club’s opening two games. Perhaps he realises just how important this game is or maybe he’s a little frustrated with goings on in the transfer market; but he continues to tackle matters head-on, which will surely endear him to his players.
