Hehe, anyways I believe Man Utd can't win the league this season, so they have got nothing to worry about as it concerns the league, but next season they will be a force to be reckoned with both in England and in Europe. Read what Mr Van Gaal said after the cut.
"When you want to be a part of the title race you have to win these games," he told reporters.
Asked if this result could cost his side the title, he replied: "Yes, that's what I mean. I've seen Manchester City in the first half against Crystal Palace. They struggle till half-time but at the end it is 3-0 – that's the difference. We have to win these matches but there is still a long time to go."
"I am very frustrated and I think the players [are] also because we were the better team and we don't win, you have to win when you are the better team," he also told Sky Sports. "We were not aggressive enough in the first half, in the second it was better but I have to say that Aston Villa are very well organised and it's always difficult to score, but when you allow them to score you know it will be very difficult.
"We did it in the second half better, we were more aggressive, we pressed more in front and that's why we scored, but you have to score two times and we could not do it. It was very frustrating because it could've been seven [wins] in a row."
Van Gaal also said Villa were perhaps a more difficult proposition after going down to 10 men.
"Yeah because they make the space more narrow, with long balls of course," he added. "Benteke is very strong and we couldn't manage that."
But the Dutchman, who admitted he had not seen enough of Falcao in recent weeks due to his injuries, says he was pleased that the Colombian found the target on his first start since October 5.
"I'm very happy for him because he needs it, and I'm very happy when a striker scores."
