L. van Gaal: 2016 is shaping up successfully for us

The head coach of "Manchester United" Louis van Gaal was pleased with his team's performance against "Stoke City" and added that this year has started successfully for them.

In total, in 2016, the "Red Devils" have already played eight matches. Among them, they drew once with "Newcastle" and lost to "Southampton" at the end of the match.

Yesterday, "Man Utd" crushed "Stoke" team with a score of 3-0 and the strategist was impressed by the team's performance: "It was a great match. In the first half, we created many attacks, scored fantastic goals, and dominated possession in the second half."

"The year 2016 is unfolding well so far. I think there should not have been that one loss against 'Southampton', as the teams deserved a draw there.

In my opinion, we have gained more self-confidence. We must always win at home, but I really hope that such victories will add even more motivation. On Friday we played in the FA Cup and looked as good as today," - said the Dutchman after the match against "Stoke".

Another serious test awaits the "Man Utd" club this weekend. The "Red Devils" will face "Chelsea" in London on Sunday.
