Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager:(Q: "You just joining the team, how important is this win?)

"I think always the results do matter. Because with such results you get confidence and also confidence in a new system. Because, yeah, we introduced a new system and we played on the training sessions two times eleven against eleven in the new system. So that is not so much, but the boys are willing to pick up all the information and we have given a lot of information, but fantastic how they have performed today."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager:(on changing systems)

"When you want to change a system, you have to start at once. Because we don't have time. We don't have time to prepare other things, and the other system that Man United can play is 4-3-3 they have played for many, many years this system. So I can change when this system doesn't work. So with the quality of the players I have, I think we can play better with this (new) system because we have four strikers for example, and when we play 1-4-3-3, then I have three strikers on the bench, and I think that is not good. So that is why I want to play with two strikers. And we have also four number tens, so the selection is not balanced in my eyes. But okay, because of that I have decided to play this system."
