Van Gaal Looking Forward To 'Improving Selection'
Manchester United are expected to pursue players such as Borussia Dortmund center-back Mats Hummels, Southampton right-back Nathaniel Clyne and PSV Eindhoven winger Memphis Depay, while they have also been linked with Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, Juventus' Paul Pogba and Wolfsburg's Kevin de Bruyne.
"I believe in managers and teams who believe in each other and who are making a team out of it," Louis van Gaal said in a news conference Friday. "That is what we call a process and when it's good and every year you improve your selection.
"So I also want to improve my selection for the next season. Then we can make a bigger step than only the process. It helps you in the process to be number one at the end," he said.
Van Gaal acknowledged how the top clubs in England have spent heavily.
"Manchester City has done that also," Van Gaal noted. "We are trying to do that now. Sir Alex Ferguson has done it before. Jose Mourinho is doing it now -- but then last season he doesn't win anything, Mr. Mourinho. Now he is winning the title. Now I try to do that also."
