Mamchester United this afternoon played a goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur away from home away.
At the end of the game, which is the last of the season, Manchester United’s manager warned rivals to ‘watch’ out for his team in 2015 and has promised further improvement from his side next year.
“We are improving every week. Of course we will get better in 2015 so watch,” Van Gaal told reporters. “Next season it will be a true Louis Van Gaal team.”
“When you can’t win these type of matches when you’re the better team, it’s very difficult to be the champion at the end of the season,” Van Gaal added.
“When you don’t reward yourself, normally the opponent wins. In the second half it wasn’t football anymore. It was a struggle for life.
“You also need a little fortune. Tottenham could also have scored in the second-half but when you play your best half of the season, at White Hart Lane against a top six club, and you play like that, then you have to finish them.”
Van Gaal was frustrated with his side’s errant finishing against Spurs and again hit out at the Premier League’s fixture scheduling, describing the second-half as a “struggle for life” two days after the Boxing Day victory over Newcastle.
