Though
United have yet to win any silverware since Ferguson retired in 2013
after guiding the English giants to 28 trophies in 26-and-a-half-years
in charge but Louis van Gaal insists Manchester United still have "a lot
to fight for" as the Dutchman targets a top-three finish in the Premier
League and FA Cup glory.
The
Red Devils are currently sixth on the EPL Log ahead of Sunday’s clash
with Everton at Old Trafford and five points behind third-placed Arsenal
with eight games remaining but Former Manchester United manager Alex
Ferguson has urged everyone connected to the club to have "some
patience" as current boss Louis van Gaal tries to bring the glory days
back to Old Trafford
The former Man United boss, in an interview with Sky Sports on Thursday, said: "It is dead easy to be critical.
"You
have to be realistic about some things, the number of injuries he (van
Gaal) has had: Phil Jones has played only seven games this season,
Ashley Young, (Antonio) Valencia, (Luke) Shaw, these are big losses."
"It doesn't matter which team you are, if you have players missing of that calibre it has to have an impact on the team.
"The
other aspect which is always easy to forget there are also five new
players in their first season at United, and two are young players in
(Anthony) Martial and Memphis (Depay) and their promise is good," the
74-year-old Scot explained
