| Louis van Gaal believes Manchester United can grab the title if the chance comes |
LOUIS VAN GAAL believes Manchester United can launch a serious Premier League title challenge this season.
The Red Devils currently sit in second place behind rivals City by just two points following their 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday.
And with Arsenal and Chelsea already slipping off the pace, Van Gaal predicts United will seize the opportunity if it comes their way.
"We have made a statement that we shall compete for the title," the Dutchman told reporters after the Saints game.
"You cannot expect a title from a team in transition. But when we are close we shall grab it."
United's strong start to the campaign has been in part due to big-money signing Anthony Martial, who has proved his doubters wrong, netting three times in the league.
Team-mate Morgan Schneiderlin said: "He has shown great composure and great skills. He is an amazing talent. He will be a great player for the future of Manchester United.”
