Louis van Gaal says Manchester United are not good enough to win the Champions League.
United face Wolfsburg in Germany on Tuesday in their final Champions League group match, needing a victory to be sure of earning qualification to the last-16.
But ahead of the game at the Volkswagen Arena, Van Gaal conceded that United’s chances of lifting European football’s biggest prize for a fourth time in their history are slim.
“I don’t think that we are able to win the Champions League now. Maybe next year when we strengthen our selection again,” Van Gaal said.
“But now we have to come as much as possible and maybe we can beat everyone, that I am sure. And we have proven that already, also in the Premier League.
“But normally we are not good enough to win the Champions League. You can win, and when we are there we shall try to do everything but you also have to be realistic.
“I’m happy with my squad now but we can strengthen the selection still in [certain] positions, for example the left-back position is not so [well] covered.”
Can Manchester United beat Wolfsburg in Germany to secure a place in the next round?
