Man Utd are suffering, says Louis van Gaal

LOUISE VAN GAAL

Manchester United are "suffering" after six matches in 18 days, said boss Louis van Gaal following his side's 2-1 Champions League win over Wolfsburg.

Juan Mata's first-half penalty and Chris Smalling's 53rd-minute goal gave United their first Group B victory.

The Premier League leaders, who visit Arsenal on Sunday, had to hold on as Wolfsburg pressed for an equaliser.

Van Gaal admits he is not the same type of manager as Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson, having required different challenges throughout his 24-year career. While Ferguson led Manchester United for 26 years and Wenger celebrated his 19th anniversary at Arsenal on Thursday, the Dutchman’s longest tenure at any club is six years.
