Robben: United will be champions again

The Dutch boss was handed the task of turning a depleted United side into title contenders after taking over from David Moyes, but has since found settling in very difficult.

United have won just one game so far this season and were shockingly dumped out of the capital One Cup by League One side MK Dons.

The former Netherlands coach spent nearly ÂŁ160m on big name signings this summer and so the pressure to pull off results in higher than ever.

But Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben is confident in the United boss’ ability to succeed, he said: “I haven’t spoken to him recently, but I was very happy for him that he won the game against QPR.

“Hopefully now he can show that he will do very well, but he needs time.

“I know how it works – if you are not winning, you get the pressure but the management at United know what sort of coach they have got and I am very confident he will be successful there.

“I have worked with Van Gaal at Bayern as well as with Holland, so I have known him for a very long time.

“He is one of the few coaches, I think, who can make teams play better. He makes players better.

“United have some young, talented players and I have no doubts that he will do well at Old Trafford.

“He will get United back into the Champions League next season, where they belong.

“They are such a big club and that is where they belong.”
