Intro:

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal reflects on his side's 2-1 win at Southampton in the Premier League on Monday.

Script:

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

"It's fantastic to be third now in the table, but I had hoped we did that with a better performance because tonight we were the lucky team.
"There's a range, of course, between good and bad, but there were not good. But normally you have six, seven, eight players who are good and three players who are in that range. But today there were too many players not good I believe.

(talking about Robin van Persie)

"I think that not only the goals are telling something about Robin van Persie. I think also his performance, he was one of the three players on the pitch of Manchester United who were good or maybe very good and he has a great influence on the result so... and very positive."
