Louis van Gaal: 'Premier League title more important than Champions League triumph'

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that winning the Premier League title is more important to him than a triumph in the Champions League.

The 64-year-old won the European title in his time as Ajax manager in the 1994-95 season, and has admitted that winning the competition for a second time would be lower on his list of priorities than securing the top-flight crown in England.

Van Gaal told reporters: "For me, it's the Premier League. The Premier League is the greater prize because I have already won the Champions League.

"The Premier League I have never won, so that is more important. "Of course, I should not say that because every title is welcome."

United maintained their push for the title this season by defeating Everton 3-0 at Goodison Park on Saturday.
