Louis van Gaal has promised that he will not instruct his team to sit back, when they host Chelsea this weekend.
The Dutchman watched on, as Daley Blind smashed in a late equaliser to salvage a point against West Brom on Monday. The draw leaves United 10 points adrift of the leaders, who visit Old Trafford on Sunday.
When asked if they can catch up with Chelsea, Van Gaal replied: “That is possible.
“It is difficult to say, because I am then arrogant, but I have done it a lot
of times, like at Barcelona.
“Chelsea is another level and then Manchester City also. But we have to see if we can beat them.”
Van Gaal also blamed errors for the two goals they conceded at the Hawthorns, but will not hold back on his attacking philosophy.
“I am happy about our playing style, but not happy about the result. Today again, two errors, and also in the past,” he added.
“I think we could have eight points more. Then we are up there. But that is a matter of time and I believe in it – football is made to play attractive for the fans.”
