| Louis van Gaal doubts Manchester United's chances in title race |
LOUIS VAN GAAL believes it's still too soon for Manchester United to win the Premier League title.
The Red Devils have moved second in the standings and to within two points of leaders and local rivals Manchester City following today's 3-2 win over Southampton.
But Van Gaal admits his side may need another season together before mounting a serious title challenge with Arsenal, Chelsea and City.
"We shall always strive for it but you can't expect a team in transition already to win a title," he said. "But when we are close. we shall grab it.
"What I am saying all the time is that we have to improve. We have to improve our team and when we improve our team, last season we were fourth so maybe we can be third now.
"But last year we were close enough to be the champions. I have said that we were very close last year."
On the victory at St Mary's, Van Gaal added: "It was very important after the PSV Eindhoven game. I have to make a lot of compliments to my players."
