Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal speaks ahead of his side's English Premier League trip to Leicester City on Saturday (28th November).

SOUNDBITE: (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager (asked if Leicester City can win the English Premier League season):

"Normally, this kind of clubs, can.... be a long time competing, but normally at the end, it's more difficult. But, in England, because of the quality of the teams, because every team has the money to buy players , and they have bought also players, the difference in the Premier League between the clubs is not so high. So it is possible, I think."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager (on Leicester City's in-form striker Jamie Vardy):

Journalist: "Would he be on your shopping list though? Would you like to buy someone like Jamie Vardy?

"That is not.... your business, I think."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager (on Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri and their previous meetings):

"Yah, I have good memories, but also bad memories. He's an excellent manager, I think. He has guided also very big clubs in Italy and in Spain, and now he's doing that here. I'm very happy for him that he can show his ability."
