Van Gaal came late and he needs time,says Kluivert

Thegoalmac can reveal that Patrick Kluivert is not surprised by Manchester United's improved form, but admits Louis van Gaal was always going to take time to settle.

They are doing well by scoring goals but their defence is still very poor,against big teams they will really suffer with that defence,hopefully if their injured defenders recovers from their injury,i believe Man Utd will perform better generally.
 "[Van Gaal] came a little bit later from the World Cup and going directly to a new club, with new personnel, new players, it needs time," Kluivert told reporters.

"The last two results were positive and if you have positive results it flows back on the team.

"I think that's the most important thing. So I think the people don't have to be scared that Manchester United is not going to do well.

"City and Chelsea and a few more [teams] have a good squad. They're doing very good at the moment but there's still a long way to go.

"But sure [they] can be a contender to be the champions. It will be very difficult but it's possible."

When pressed on his future, Kluivert - who has been linked with a managerial post in England - said his ambition is now "to be a head coach somewhere".
