Louis Van Gaal declared Man United's Manager - wants to win the League

 New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal wants to replicate his feats at Barcelona and Bayern Munich by winning the league in his first season.

The Dutchman won the 1997-98 La Liga title at Barcelona before securing the 2009-10 Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

Three managers have won the Premier League at the first go - Chelsea duo Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti and Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City.

"I would be proud if it works right away," said 62-year-old Van Gaal.

 Speaking on Dutch TV station RTL, Van Gaal said his immediate objectives were to return United to "number one spot" as soon as possible and that fans "will think they are champions of England again within a year".

He added: "Spain saw me succeed in my first year and in Germany as well. In England, it must also be possible.

"But there can only be one champion." - BBC
