Man United boss Louis van Gaal: 'Trophies are worth more than finishing fourth'

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says that winning a trophy is "worth more" than finishing fourth.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has claimed that winning a trophy is "worth more" than finishing fourth, but insists that the club's main aim is qualifying for the Champions League.

The Red Devils are currently fifth in the Premier League table, on level points with fourth-placed Manchester City.

United are unlikely to win the league crown, but they are in contention for silverware as they remain in the FA Cup and the Europa League.

"The target is winning the Europa League and of course Manchester United have not won the Europa League," Sky Sports News quotes Van Gaal as saying.

"It should be fantastic for Manchester United and the fans when you win a title but also the last time they won the FA Cup was many, many years ago so that would also be fantastic.

"A title is always worth more than fourth position but the Champions League is our aim, so that is why the Europa League is very important or the fourth position in the table."

United will take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Sunday.
