Leicester City Can Win The Premier League, Says Manchester United Boss Louis

Louis van Gaal insists winning points “is more than important” than scoring goals as his Manchester United style has again been questioned.

This weekend’s Premier League action sees two Premier League champions – one defending, one most-crowned – travel away to rival clubs that are surprisingly doing better than them in the league.

But a victory at Leicester, who have lost just once at home this season, would ease some of the tension by taking United above Claudio Ranieri’s side to the top of the league.

“I only know, for example, Dennis Bergkamp as a player with me did the same with Ajax and that is not so easy”, he said.

“Everyone’s saying ‘well, they’re out of it, there’s no way they can make the top four, ‘ but when I was at Leeds we were 15th at Christmas and finished 4th so it’s possible”.

When asked whether he was anxious about criticism from supporters, Van Gaal said: “Of course, because the fans have to be happy, you are playing for the fans so you can not deny that”. We have a very good spirit, we know on Saturday there will be a very good challenger for us.

“We are still not lucky to finish to the chances”.

While they flounder down in 15th just six months after being crowned champions, Leicester top the table just six months after narrowly avoiding relegation to the Championship.

Vardy will break the league’s consecutive scoring record if he nets in an 11th straight game against United after equalling Ruud van Nistelrooy’s achievement with the opener in last week’s 3-0 win at Newcastle – which took City top.

The 22-year-old star felt his hamstring tighten in the closing stages of United’s disappointing goalless Champions League stalemate with PSV Eindhoven at Old Trafford.

Here are a few reasons why this may have been the most exciting start to a Premier League season ever… We look ahead to a tense and nail-biting final game of each group for the English clubs and check out what they need to do to progress.

“It is hard for me because I have waited a long time for this chance”.

Jamie Vardy is launching his own academy to give talented non-league players who have slipped under the radar the opportunity to follow in his footsteps.

“But in England, because of the quality of the teams, because very team has the money to buy players, the difference between clubs is not so high”. After the match at Leicester, we are proving that we have a very good defensive organisation.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has always been praised for the aesthetically pleasing way his side plays – but how many trophies has this philosophy returned in the last ten years?

“We are still second, so we are still on the qualifying position”, he said. “We play to our strengths, try and not play to our weaknesses – it’s not rocket science”.
