Before the Europa League match with "Liverpool", Manchester team's strategist Louis van Gaal admitted that the dominance of the "Red Devils" has long sunk into the past.
"Other English teams are still playing in the Champions League. Now we are talking about "Man Utd" and "Liverpool" and we are happy to compete in the Europa League," - the Dutchman started the press conference.
"Man City", "Arsenal" and "Chelsea" (until yesterday's matches - ed.) continue to fight in the strongest tournament on the Old Continent, so in total six clubs represent the country in Europe, so you should be proud of that," said van Gaal.
"In football, this is normal. But it is abnormal when one team dominates for 20 years and constantly becomes a champion.
The Ferguson era was completely different, so you are still living in the past. I think we should go back to the present," - defended his results van Gaal.
