Louis van Gaal targets FA Cup glory with Manchester United

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal admits that it will be "difficult" to win the FA Cup this season, although he has made it his target to reach Wembley in May.

Louis van Gaal has targeted FA Cup glory at Manchester United this season after seeing his side overcome a potential banana skin tie at Yeovil by coming out on top 2-0.

The Red Devils were held to a goalless first half at Huish Park this afternoon, although goals from Ander Herrera and Angel di Maria ensured that the 11-time winners will be in the hat for the fourth round.

Following the match, Van Gaal told BBC Sport: "I had expected this. It is always difficult to play against a team like this - playing long balls - you have to fight and they gave us a lot of pressure.

"We had more chances in the second half and our first goal came as a consequence of that. Then Yeovil attacked and we were able to score on the counter.

"[The FA Cup] is important for every club, not just Manchester United. We want to win the FA Cup, we know it will be difficult but that is our goal."

The draw for the next round of the showpiece competition is made on Monday evening.
