The new boss won just one of his first six
competitive games in charge, but has now recorded
back-to-back victories to guide his team into the
Champions League places
Patrick Kluivert is not
surprised by Manchester
United's improved form, but
admits Louis van Gaal was
always going to take time to
settle.
United recorded just one
victory from their first six games of the season -
including a 4-0 loss to MK Dons and a 5-3 defeat to
Leicester City - but have now secured back-to-back wins
to move into the top four.
The club spent
over €190 million
during the summer -
with the likes of Angel
Di Maria, Luke Shaw
and Ander Herrera
arriving - and Kluivert
feels United can now
challenge for the title
"[Van Gaal] came a
little bit later from the
World Cup and going
directly to a new club,
with new personnel,
new players, it needs
time," Kluivert told
reporters.
"The last two results were positive and if you have
positive results it flows back on the team.
"I think that's the most important thing. So I think the
people don't have to be scared that Manchester United
is not going to do well.
"City and Chelsea and a few more [teams] have a good
squad. They're doing very good at the moment but
there's still a long way to go.
"But sure [they] can be a contender to be the
champions. It will be very difficult but it's possible."
When pressed on his future, Kluivert - who has been
linked with a managerial post in England - said his
ambition is now "to be a head coach somewhere".
